[High pedicle scalp flaps]

A retrospective study of 207 transposition flaps with a high pedicle of various sizes and locations allows a better understanding of the esthetic effects, the reliability, the complications and the indications of this hair replacement surgery. Four kinds of flaps with a high pedicle have been transposed separately or jointly for an immediate correction of pattern baldness. The long flaps are delayed but the short flaps are transposed in one session without delay.
