Abstract
The bicortical parietal osteofascial pedicled flap gives to the mandibular reconstruction a vascularized membranous bicortical bone. It also presents the advantages associated with being a close flap. This flap can be an alternative to microsurgical techniques when these are not available or they are not applicable and to the mandibular distraction osteogenesis by bone transport. Complications in the donor area of this flap, although not serious, may require revision surgery.
