Bilateral Transposition Flaps With Split-Thickness Skin Grafting of Secondary Defects After a Large Mohs Micrographic Surgery Defect With Exposed Calvarium

Large, full-thickness defects of the scalp create a common reconstructive dilemma following Mohs micrographic surgery. In cases with exposed calvarium, transposition flap(s) followed by split-thickness skin graft(s) to the secondary defect is an effective method of reconstruction that allows for sam...

description Large, full-thickness defects of the scalp create a common reconstructive dilemma following Mohs micrographic surgery. In cases with exposed calvarium, transposition flap(s) followed by split-thickness skin graft(s) to the secondary defect is an effective method of reconstruction that allows for same-day repair, full defect coverage, and good functional outcomes. Herein, we present the reconstruction of a large scalp defect utilizing bilateral transposition flaps followed by split-thickness skin grafts of the secondary defects.
