Versatility of Bipedicle Flap for Reconstruction of Large Scalp Defects

Abstract

Background: Reconstruction of Scalp defects is a challenging problem. The unique hair bearing characteristics of scalp impose unique reconstructive challenges for coverage of scalp defects. Size, location and depth of the defect determine the complexity of the procedure. Patients with large scalp defects require reconstruction with broad based large scalp flaps. Objective: To determine the outcome of use of bipedicle scalp flap for coverage of large scalp defects.
