| Summary: | Skin tumors of the scalp are increasing significantly as the population ages, with basal cell carcinoma and cutaneous squamous cell carcinoma being particularly prevalent.1, 2 Large lesions that require extensive tumor excision often lead to defects that exceed the capabilities of simple reconstruction techniques. In addition to the size of the lesions, the reduced elasticity of the scalp and its convexity pose a particular challenge. Established procedures include techniques such as stretching plasty, rotation flap plasty, rotation flap plasty from two sides, transposition flap plasty, A-T flap plasty, H flap plasty, secondary wound healing with subsequent split-thickness skin grafting, partial closure and supplementary full-thickness skin grafting, or free vascularized flap plasty. |
