[Retracted] Treatment of Large and Complicated Scalp Defects with Free Flap Transfer

Figure 2

Typical cases of free flap transfer in the reconstruction of the complicated scalp and calvarial defects. (a) A patient presented with giant scalp tumor and the tumor with the invaded skull bone was resected. (b) An ALT flap was adopted to reconstruct the scalp defect (a titanium mesh was used to reconstruct the skull defect). (c) The flap maintained the scalp contour with durable coverage of the defect. (d) A patient presented scalp defect and titanium exposure. The patients experienced several operations and the situation of adjacent scalp was poor. (e) A radial forearm flap was harvested for the reconstruction. (f) The vessels of the flap were anastomosed to the right superficial temporal vessels.
