Replantation is the preferred treatment for scalp injuries, even severe ones. Proper pre-, intra-, and postoperative care, including patient stabilization and specimen management, are vital for successful scalp replantation.

Area of Science:

  • Microsurgery
  • Trauma Surgery
  • Reconstructive Surgery

Background:

  • Scalping injuries present significant reconstructive challenges.
  • Replantation is the optimal treatment for avulsed scalp tissue.
  • Success hinges on meticulous perioperative management.

Observation:

  • A case of severe scalp avulsion requiring replantation is presented.
  • The avulsed scalp specimen exhibited extensive damage.
  • The patient underwent a complex surgical procedure.

Findings:

  • Successful replantation was achieved despite severe scalp damage.
  • Key factors included hemodynamic stabilization, proper specimen care (cooling, cleaning), and optimized intraoperative conditions.
  • Antibiotics and hemodilution were employed to enhance outcomes.

Implications:

  • This case underscores the viability of scalp replantation in severe injuries.
  • Highlights the critical importance of standardized pre-, intra-, and postoperative protocols.
  • Offers a model for managing complex scalp avulsion injuries through microsurgical replantation.
