Description
Summary:A totally avulsed scalp was treated successfully by microvascular replantation in 1975(1). Since then, scalp replantation has become the treatment of choice in scalp injuries and should always be considered even in cases of severe damage or prolonged ischemic time. Usually, every attempt is made to establish as many vascular anastomoses as possible. We report one case of total scalp avulsion with a 24-hour ischemic time, which was successfully replanted via one arterial and one venous anastomose.
