Abstract

Use of a four-poster halo and corset jacket provides complete protection, access, and mobility for patients undergoing free-flap scalp reconstruction. This technique was used in a patient who required a total scalp reconstruction with a compound latissimus/serratus muscle free flap with good success. The case and technique are presented for review.
