Resumen
BALAGUER-CAMBRA, J. et al. Scalp reconstruction with galeal frontalis flap: case report. Cir. plást. iberolatinoam. [online]. 2006, vol.32, n.1, pp.49-53. ISSN 1989-2055.
Large defects of scalp are difficult for reconstruction because of lacking of local tissues. Most of the times, local flaps, tissue expansion and even free microvascular tissue transfer are indicated. This paper aims the treatment of a 6 months 10x12cm left temporal bone exposure, which was solved with a galea frontalis flap followed by scalp expansion for hair line restitution. The galea frontalis flap has a rich constant vascularization, and it´s anatomy and surgical dissection has been described elsewhere. This flap has been useful in our case for temporal area reconstruction, allowing bone coverage and hairline reconstruction with expansion tissue technique.
