Abstract
An island scalp fasciocutaneous flap, based on the posterior superficial temporal vessels, is described for single-stage reconstruction of full-thickness forehead and scalp defects. The hairline can be precisely determined and tailored to restore symmetry. By removing the hair-bearing dermis of the forehead portion of the flap and placing a full-thickness skin graft, aesthetic reconstitution of the forehead skin is achieved. This flap is especially useful when exposed calvarium limits other techniques.
