This study proposes a new algorithm for scalp tumor reconstruction, improving outcomes by guiding surgical decisions. Applying this algorithm minimizes inadequate resections and reduces the need for repeat procedures in oncologic scalp reconstruction.

Area of Science:

Oncologic Surgery
Reconstructive Surgery
Plastic Surgery

Background:

Scalp tumors can be treated with radical resection and reconstruction.
Optimal treatment is hindered by a lack of comprehensive reconstructive guidelines.

Purpose of the Study:

To develop and present an algorithm for oncologic scalp reconstruction.
To improve treatment planning and minimize suboptimal outcomes.

Main Methods:

Retrospective analysis of 60 patients treated for scalp tumors over 10 years.
Data collected included tumor characteristics, reconstructive procedures, outcomes, and complications.
An algorithm was developed based on analyzed data to guide reconstructive decisions.

Main Results:

Five reconstructive categories were defined within an algorithmic framework.
Key decision points identified include local flaps vs. primary closure and free tissue transfer.
The algorithm clarifies indications and limitations for each reconstructive category.

Conclusions:

Radical resection and reconstruction are the optimal methods for scalp tumor management.
The proposed algorithm aids in planning oncologic scalp reconstruction.
Algorithm application can reduce inadequate resections and the need for revision surgeries.
