Abstract

Scalp and forehead region reconstruction is a complex clinical area, typically necessitated by conditions like skin cancers, intracranial lesions, trauma and burns. Various reconstructive techniques exist, from primary closure upscaling to free tissue transfer. Reconstructive options are largely determined by the size and location of the defects, as well as other factors such as age and comorbidities. Preserving natural hair patterns and utilising native scalp tissue, whenever possible, are essential for achieving aesthetic success. This article provides a concise overview of scalp wound reconstruction, emphasising the advantages and limitations of each option. [ABSTRACT FROM AUTHOR]
