Abstract
The coverage of extensive defects of the scalp is sometimes a problem. In some clinical cases the methods of definitive coverage are shown. Microsurgery permits the replantation of a scalp or the coverage of a defect with a free flap. A new technique consists in the use of a tissue expander to stretch the remaining scalp.
