Chirurgie des séquelles de brûlures du cuir chevelu

The sequelae of scalp burns may result in alopecia, more or less extended on a spontaneously unexpandable tissue. Treatment of such sequelae requires the alopecia plaques being replaced with local and regional hair flaps. Tissue expansion allows treating extended alopecia through large flaps which cannot be obtained by standard procedures. The techniques used are described; they often combine flaps of different types. Results are provided through clinical cases. Scalp expansion should strictly comply with rules and guidelines; it may induce complications. This technique may be reiterated.
