Repair of scalp defect using V-Y-S rotation flap / 中国骨伤

ABSTRACT

<p><b>OBJECTIVE</b>To report the clinical results of scalp defect using V-Y-S rotation flap.</p><p><b>METHODS</b>From March 2003 to October 2005, 5 cases scalp defect (4 male, 1 female) were reconstructed with the technique. The age ranged from 26 to 52 years (mean 32 years). The scalp defect ranged from 3 cmx3.5 cm to 4 cmx5 cm. Four cases were reconstructed with bilateral flap and one case was reconstructed with unilateral flaps.</p><p><b>RESULTS</b>All patients were followed-up from 10 to 42 months (mean, 28 months). All the flaps survived completely and showed good hair growth and had satisfactory clinical results.</p><p><b>CONCLUSION</b>Repair of scalp defect using V-Y-S rotation flap technique is simple with no need for a skin graft and can be performed quickly, there is minimal morbidity and the outcome is highly successful.</p>
