Abstract:
The cornerstones of scalp reconstruction are provisions of adequate skin paired with a satisfactory cosmetic outcome without hairline distortion. Several techniques have been described over the years to reconstruct sizable defects. Currently, an individualized approach, based on the patient's medical status and needs, the defect characteristics, and the local tissue quality and availability, should be considered for an optimal outcome. The reconstruction of multiple scalp defects, by means of a well-planned rotational flap, is proposed as a viable option with many advantages. It enables concurrent reconstruction of the defects, obviates further surgical incisions, and elaborates surgical maneuvers, minimizing operative time and complications risk. A satisfactory esthetic outcome can be achieved.
