Abstract

This article presents a systematic approach to the reconstruction of scalp defects, which includes a review of the anatomy of the scalp as it pertains to reconstruction, and a discussion of the various reconstructive options for scalp defects, such as grafts and flaps. Further, scalp flap selection, design, and execution are outlined. Finally, adjunctive techniques of tissue expansion and hair transplants are included to enhance the final aesthetic result.
