Skin graft from a scalp flap.

K Fang, T R Stevenson

    Plastic and Reconstructive Surgery
    |April 1, 1987
    PubMed
    Summary

    Scalp avulsion was treated using a transposition flap with a split-thickness skin graft. This innovative technique minimized scarring by using the flap as the donor site, ensuring successful healing and hair regrowth.

    Area of Science:

    • Plastic Surgery
    • Reconstructive Surgery

    Background:

    • Scalp avulsion injuries present significant reconstructive challenges.
    • Traditional grafting methods often require separate donor sites, leading to additional scarring.

    Observation:

    • A case of scalp avulsion was successfully managed using a transposition scalp flap.
    • A split-thickness skin graft was harvested directly from the transposition flap itself.

    Findings:

    • This single-anatomic-region approach eliminated the need for a separate donor site, preventing an additional scar.
    • The transposition flap healed without complications, demonstrating normal hair regrowth.
    • The donor site was aesthetically concealed, and the split-thickness skin graft achieved complete take.

    Implications:

    • This technique offers a streamlined and aesthetically advantageous solution for scalp avulsion reconstruction.
    • Minimizing donor site morbidity enhances patient outcomes in complex reconstructive procedures.
    • The method preserves cosmesis by avoiding secondary scarring, crucial for scalp reconstructions.
