Abstract
|
|
|
Facial burn often brought about both loss of hair bearing scalp and obliteration of anterior frontal hairline which resulted esthetic deformity to the patients with many social and psychological problems.
For many decades plastic surgeons have used a variety of method (such as single hair transplantation, punch or strip graft, and local flaps) to solve these problems. But the results are commonly unsatisfactory due to the poor vascularity, which leads to partial loss of the flap, unnatural hair direction and sparse desity.
However, since the introduction of microsurgery, Harii applied a new method of microvascular free scalp transfer and reported its satisfactory results in 1974.
The authors performed this microvascular free scalp flap transfer to a 8 years old boy who had lost extensive scalp hair to deep burn.
Therefore the authors made this case report with the favorable result.
