After this, a temporal muscle is cut out through the separate access in the projection of the temporal and parietal bones boundaries. To do this, a horizontal cut of the soft tissues from the auricle towards the eyeball with a length of 5 cm is made. Temporal muscle is extracted through the access, then a tunnel is formed in the subcutaneous tissue from the incision in the temporal region to the incision on the face. Then unfold the temporal muscle for 90° and spend in the formed tunnel to the defect zone. After that, an implant is covered with a part of the muscle for prosthetics of the orbital walls, made of titanium nickelide, and the rest of the muscle is sutured to soft tissues in the region of the nose, and the mucosa of the upper lip is sewn with the lower edge of the muscle.
