摘      要：Background:Several reconstructive techniques have been used to reconstruct scalp *** researchers have studied the utilization of bipedicled scalp advancement flaps for scalp defect *** this study,we will assess the adaptability of a bipedicled scalp advancement flap for coverage of huge scalp defects after tumor ***:This study was performed at the Plastic Surgery Department,Fayoum University Hospital,on 20 patients with huge scalp tumors treated by adequate excision and reconstructed using a bipedicled scalp advancement flap from December 2021 to July ***:The study was conducted on 20 patients:16(80%)were men and 4(20%)were women presenting with large scalp *** mean age was 57.4 years(33-68 years).The sites of the tumors were 10(50%)occipital,6(30%)parietal,and 4(20%)*** major complications occurred postoperatively,and the bipedicled flaps survived well in all cases,with no ***:Huge scalp defects after tumor resection can be safely reconstructed with a large versatile bipedicled advancement scalp flap,either transversely or longitudinally oriented,with favorable functional results and accepted aesthetic results,apart from the alopecic area over the grafted donor site,which can be treated by tissue expansion if desired later.
