Department of Surgery, Taichung Veterans General Hospital, Taiwan, ROC.

Four cases of extensive scalp avulsion were successfully replanted in this reported series. All patients were female, with the youngest 3 years of age. All replanted scalps survived, with some marginal necrosis due to tissue destruction. Postoperative venous congestion of the involved ear in one patient was managed with anticoagulant therapy. Another patient underwent severe congestion of the whole replanted scalp and was treated with thin skin-graft shaving in the parietal area. In the follow-up period, all patients obtained hair growth in the scalp with light touch sensation.
