Complications After Scalp Suturing Posttraumatic Avulsion

Scalp avulsion is a rare but severe trauma. Most cases of this injury happened as a result of hair entrapment in a high-speed rotating machine. Treatment of scalp avulsion can be challenging. Nowadays, microsurgical scalp replantation has become the treatment of choice. However, there are situations in which replantation or even usage of scalp as composite grafts is not possible. The aim of this paper is to present 2 cases of scalp avulsion, which needed split-thickness skin graft for covering posttraumatic scalp loss. Closing large scalp defects after its avulsion by skin graft is still a viable option, especially when replantation and even usage of scalp as a composite graft is not achievable. Scalp shaving is mandatory before any surgical procedures.
