Abstract

Despite the technical difficulties, microvascular replantation is the outstanding method of treatment for avulsed scalps because of superior aesthetic results and social and psychological benefits. We presented a successful replantation of almost the whole of the scalp as well as the left ear, the entire forehead, eyebrows, and upper eyelids. Functional assessment of the case in the postoperative sixth year was reported.
