The reconstruction of full-thickness scalp defects with exposed bone can be challenging. A single-stage reconstruction could be the preferred option for patients with multiple comorbidities. We propose using a dermal regeneration template (Matriderm Flex) and full-thickness skin grafts. The approach shown in this case report allows for quick healing, less donor-site discomfort in comparison with dermatome-harvested skin grafts, and very good aesthetic results, matching the surrounding skin thickness.
