Superficial Temporal Fascia Pedicled V-Y Advancement Flap for Scalp Reconstruction
Repair of scalp defects using local hair bearing scalp is technically challenging. Transposition or rotation of local flaps to close the defect has its own disadvantages. Reconstruction of scalp defect using superficial temporal fascia pedicled V-Y advancement flap using both frontal and parietal branches of superficial temporal artery following the excision of a benign and a malignant pathology is reported here. It is possible to reconstruct the defect with hair bearing scalp in a single stage along with primary closure of the donor site using this technique
