Scalp reconstruction using local flaps is effective for traumatic and oncological defects. This study highlights successful outcomes with no complications, improving reconstructive surgery techniques.

Area of Science:

  • Plastic and Reconstructive Surgery
  • Anatomy
  • Surgical Oncology

Background:

  • The scalp serves as a vital protective barrier, requiring complex reconstruction for defects.
  • Understanding scalp anatomy and vascular supply is crucial for successful surgical outcomes.
  • Diverse etiologies of scalp defects necessitate tailored reconstructive approaches.

Purpose of the Study:

  • To evaluate the efficacy of local flap reconstruction for scalp defects.
  • To share insights from a specialized university hospital's reconstructive surgery department.
  • To identify factors influencing optimal scalp reconstruction outcomes.

Main Methods:

  • Retrospective analysis of 18 patients undergoing scalp reconstruction.
  • Selection of flap types based on defect size for tension-free coverage.

  • Detailed assessment of flap nourishment, defect location, and surgical planning.

    • Main Results:

    • Successful scalp reconstruction in all 18 patients, primarily for trauma (55.5%) and oncological (44.4%) defects.
    • Local flap reconstruction was effective despite defect depth.
    • Zero postoperative complications, including flap survival and no wound dehiscence.

    Conclusions:

    • Local flap reconstruction is a reliable and effective method for diverse scalp defects.
    • Meticulous surgical planning, considering intrinsic and extrinsic factors, is key.
    • The study affirms the safety and efficacy of these reconstructive procedures, optimizing patient outcomes.
