Reconstructing scalp defects is possible using transverse subcutaneous pedicle flaps. This method utilizes the epicranial aponeurosis vascular network, offering a viable surgical option for scalp repair.

Area of Science:

  • Plastic Surgery
  • Reconstructive Surgery

Background:

  • Scalp defects present reconstructive challenges.
  • Conventional methods may have limitations.

Observation:

  • A novel technique using subcutaneous pedicle flaps with transverse pedicles was employed.
  • These flaps draw vascular supply from the epicranial aponeurosis.

Findings:

  • The transverse pedicle flap technique was successfully applied in 12 cases.
  • This method proved effective for scalp defect reconstruction.

Implications:

  • This flap technique offers a valuable alternative for scalp reconstruction.
  • Further research may explore its broader applicability in plastic and reconstructive surgery.
