✦ Synopsis

Massive defects of the scalp, cranium, and dura can be covered with local rotation, transposition scalp flaps. Five cases of massive defects of up to 300 square centimeters resulting from resection of scalp neoplasms were reconstructed by this technique. Excellent cosmetic and functional results were obtained in all cases. Although the emphasis in the recent literature has been on free flap coverage of these massive defects, our series demonstrates that these extensive scalp defects can be reconstructed using large local scalp flap transposition. HEAD & NECK 121247-253,1990 A variety of techniques exist for the reconstruction of extensive wounds which involve the scalp, cranium, and dura. Recent articles have emphasized the use of various musculocutaneous or omental microvascular free for the coverage of such defects. Excellent results can be
