Scalp skin expanders offer a feasible solution for correcting cutis verticis gyrata. This surgical technique effectively repairs scalp defects with good flap and hair growth, minimizing scarring.

Area of Science:

  • Plastic Surgery
  • Dermatology
  • Regenerative Medicine

Background:

  • Cutis verticis gyrata presents significant cosmetic and reconstructive challenges.
  • Traditional surgical excision can lead to large scalp defects and poor aesthetic outcomes.

Purpose of the Study:

  • To assess the feasibility and clinical efficacy of using expanded scalp skin flaps for reconstruction.
  • To evaluate the surgical correction of scalp defects following cutis verticis gyrata excision.

Main Methods:

  • Eight patients underwent scalp skin expander implantation.
  • A 2-3 month tissue expansion period preceded the excision of cutis verticis gyrata.
  • Expanded scalp flaps were utilized to cover the resulting skin defects.

Main Results:

  • Successful reconstruction of scalp defects was achieved in all patients.
  • Expanded flaps demonstrated good vascularity and hair growth.
  • Minimal contractures and significant scarring were observed post-operatively.

Conclusions:

  • Tissue expansion followed by flap reconstruction is a viable and effective method for managing cutis verticis gyrata.
  • This approach yields favorable aesthetic and functional results in scalp reconstruction.
