The role of free flaps in Scalp reconstruction Experiences From AL Mouassal University Hospital


Abstract in English

The micro surgery did not take its role correctly in our country in spite of it being well known and widespread throughout the world for a relatively long time. The micro surgery is an essential part in the reconstruction of tissue of skin, muscles, bones and nerves with its blood vessels where it could re-connect (anastomos) in the right place. The wide loss of full thickness tissue in the scalp is considered as a serious challenge for the reconstructive surgeon and the micro surgery is considered one of the most important methods of reconstruction of such defects. Objective: To study the importance of the use of free flaps in the reconstruction of the wide defects and loss of tissue in the scalp in Al Mouassat Hospital patients.
