“…The history of scalp reconstruction parallels developments in plastic surgery techniques. An interesting and detailed history of scalping injuries and their management was described by Koss et al 3 Augustin Belloste, a French surgeon, in 1696 advocated early perforation of bare cranium to allow granulation tissue and subsequent epithelialization. 4 This was practiced until Netolitzky, in 1871, used skin grafting of the calvaria after the presence of granulation tissue.…”

Reconstruction of soft tissue defect with exposed bone over the forehead is a technical challenge in pediatric population. The options vary from skin grafting, local flaps to complex microvascular tissue transfer. The local flaps leave unsightly scar in the neighboring area and may violate the hair bearing scalp, hair line and the direction of hair. Skin grafting requires a vascular bed for its take and the aesthetic appearance is inferior. The tissue expansion in an acute stage may not be an option. Here we present our experience of soft tissue reconstruction of a forehead defect in a 2-year-old child with free radial forearm flap (RAFF). To best of our knowledge free radial forearm flap has rarely been reported for usage in reconstruction of forehead defect in pediatric population.

“…In 1908, Robinson demonstrated the success of skin grafting on intact periosteum in the absence of granulation tissue (4). Thereafter many authors demonstrated successful reconstruction with local flaps (2,6,8,11,18). Neumann reported the first clinical use of tissue expansion in 1957, when he used the expanded scalp tissue for ear reconstruction (15).…”

ABSTRACTaIM: Large defects of the scalp, head and neck region are often encountered by plastic surgeons. The repair of such defects is dependent upon their location, size and depth. This study describes the use of large scalp flaps as a salvage procedure in the reconstruction of large scalp, head and neck region defects in elderly patients with poor general condition or advanced malignancy. MaterIaL and MetHOds:The presented study includes 22 patients operated between 2007 and 2011 for the reconstruction of large defects of the hair-bearing skin and head/neck region with large scalp flaps. A defect exceeding 25 cm 2 area was classified as "large" as defined in the previous studies. The patients' medical records were analyzed. resuLts: Scalp flaps provided a satisfactory and durable reconstruction in the late follow-up term. All flaps were completely survived except in one case in which a partial necrosis in the distal margin occurred. Major complications were recorded in 4.5% of patients while minor complications were recorded in 13.5% of them. cOncLusIOn:In conclusion, large scalp flaps should be considered as a salvage procedure for reconstruction of large scalp, head and neck defects especially for palliative situations in elderly patients with significant comorbidities and advanced malignancies. sOnuÇ: Sonuç olarak, geniş skalp flepleri, ciddi komorbiditesi olan veya ileri kanser olgularında, yaşlı hastalarda özellikle palyatif durumlarda, geniş skalp ve baş boyun bölgesi defektlerinin rekonstrüksiyonunda, kurtarıcı bir posedür olarak dikkate alınmalıdır.anaHtar sÖZcÜkLer: Skalp defekti, Geniş skalp flebi, Baş ve boyun defekti, Skalp rekonstrüksiyonu, Baş ve boyun rekonstrüksiyonu, Saçlı deri defekti
