Total scalp avulsion injury with cervical spine injury is rare. This article is to describe the technical difficulties and precautions to be taken during anatomical replantation. The patients with cervical spine injury should not be considered as an absolute contraindication for anatomical replant if patients are fit for general anaesthesia. We found that the supratrochlear and supraorbital vessels which are anterior and superficial temporal vessels which are lateral can be used to replant without much technical difficulty. We conclude that anatomical replant is always better keeping in mind the technical limitations of anatomical replant in case of cervical spine injury.

“…17 Other reconstructive options described in the literature include skin grafting, free flap transfer with latissimus flap, or tissue expansion. [18][19][20][21][22][23] When evaluating surgical alternatives, it is necessary to consider the size, depth, and location of the wound on the calvarium, as well as the quality of the surrounding tissue, damage to hair follicles, additional exposure to bacteria (ie, animal bites), and any other comorbidities.…”

Cultured Skin Autograft in Subtotal Pediatric Scalp Avulsion

Pediatric scalp avulsions represent a reconstructive challenge because of the unique features of scalp tissue. When microsurgical reimplantation is not feasible, alternative approaches such as skin grafting, free flap transfer with latissimus flap, or tissue expansion are considered. Generally, there is no consensus regarding management of this trauma, and, oftentimes, multiple reconstructive techniques may be needed for definitive coverage. This case study describes the reconstruction of a pediatric subtotal scalp avulsion using a dermal regeneration template and novel autologous homologous skin construct. This case was complicated by the absence of original tissue for reimplantation, excessive size of the defect relative to body habitus, and family concerns for future hair-bearing function. The reconstruction successfully provided definitive coverage and significantly reduced the size of the donor site and associated compilations. However, the hair-bearing potential of the tissue has yet to be determined.
