Extended Scalp Reconstruction With a Free Supraclavicular Graft: A Case Report

Skin restoration after tumor excision, trauma, or burns may be achieved with full or split-thickness skin grafts or local flaps. The success rate of a skin graft depends on several independent factors. The supraclavicular region is considered a reliable donor site for head and neck skin defects because of its easy access. We present a case of a supraclavicular skin graft harvested to cover a skin deficit after the excision of a squamous cell carcinoma of the scalp. The postoperative course was uneventful regarding graft survival, the healing procedure, and the cosmetic outcome.
