“…The scar at the frontal and the temporal hairlines can be disguised with micrografts of hair (8). Nevertheless, all our patients were satisfied with definitive scars and therefore no cosmetic improvement was claimed.…”

Although recent reports have emphasised free microsurgical transfer for reconstruction of extensive defects in the scalp, in our experience a carefully planned scalp flap is a simpler and safer method than a free transfer. Twenty-one patients with defects as large as 10%-60% of the scalp surface area were reconstructed; the calvarium was resected in five cases and the dura mater in two. In 18 cases the flaps were based on a single pedicle: the superficial temporal artery. In three cases the blood supply of the flaps was based on three major homolateral arteries: the superficial temporal, the posterior auricular, and the occipital. The blood supply of all scalp flaps was based on the interconnected network of the aponeurotic plexus and the pedicles were included into flap in 18 cases. The principles of fasciocutaneous flaps were applied for all 21 scalp flaps. The reconstruction of the skull was delayed in all cases, and the dura was replaced by free autogenous periosteum. The donor area was covered with a skin graft in all cases. In all patients the aesthetic and functional results were considered excellent by them and by us. There were no postoperative complications.

“…(2,3) It was not until Orentreich elegantly described his punch grafting techniques that follicular harvesting and transfer were both clearly understood and widely implemented. (4) Nordström (1981) (5) and Marritt (1984) (6) advanced follicular grafting with the introduction of single-hair transfers, or micrografts. Scalp rotational flaps have their origin in the management of cicatricial alopecia but became celebrated as a means of aesthetic hair restoration with the contribution of Jose Juri's eponymous, twice-delayed temporoparietal-occipital flap.…”

Micro-and minigrafting have become cornerstones of hair-restoration surgery. However, the vertex of the scalp may prove to be a particularly problematic area to address with a follicular-transfer technique. Minigrafting may yield an unnatural "pluggy" appearance, especially when the crown is viewed directly from above. Micrografting may not provide sufficient density for a large area of vertex alopecia. Scalp reduction with extender can close a large defect ( , 12 cm) rapidly over a few sessions and provide density to the crown area that is unachievable with conventional follicular-grafting techniques. This paper reviews the salient preoperative considerations required in selecting the appropriate candidate for scalp reduction. It then discusses the surgical design, implementation of an extender, and transposition z-plasty closure that the authors have used over the past 10 years to achieve a natural, rapid, and dense closure to the exposed vertex. 279
