头皮撕脱伤超时游离回植

OBJECTIVE: To investigate a treatment method for overtime avulsion of scalp. METHODS: Form October 1992 to July 2001, we treated 7 cases of avulsed scalp, which had been wounded more than 12 hours and accompanied with shock and head wound, with split thickness scalp skin grafting. RESULTS: Except for partial necrosis of scalp in center of bare area of skull, more than 90% of grafting split thickness scalp skin survived in 4 cases and more than 80% in 3 cases, and presented satisfactory appearance during following up. The bare area had no periosteum above 4 cm in diameter needed to graft split thickness skin after skull was covered granulation tissue. CONCLUSION: The limits of time of scalp skin grafting will be prolonged as long as the processes are settled properly to maintain the skin of body.
