Scalp reconstruction.
Abstract
The article focuses on scalp reconstruction of surgical wounds following skin cancer resection. In contrast to other cosmetic units, scalp wounds are closed under significant tension, because the galea restricts overlying tissue movement. For defects that cannot be closed primarily, rotation flaps developed within the subgaleal space are often the best reconstruction option.
