Scalp reconstructive flaps

Abstract

Scalp reconstruction requires keen insight into underlying anatomy and surgical armamentarium. The reconstructive surgeon must consider a plethora of complexities to devise a safe and cosmetically maximized outcome. The purpose of this article is to review scalp reconstruction techniques and the current literature in the framework of the reconstructive ladder, with special emphasis on local flap consideration, design, and execution.

Keywords

Scalp reconstruction / scalp defects / local flaps / scalp flaps / reconstructive ladder
