Microsurgical replantation of avulsed scalp--two cases report.

Two female patients with scalp avulsion were treated successfully by microsurgical replantation. The first patient suffered an avulsion of the right half of scalp and which survived fully after replantation. The second patient suffered avulsion of the entire scalp as well as the forehead skin and nape of the neck. Almost all of the avulsed part survived except partial skin loss in the posterior neck and left occipital area. Only one temporal artery and one vein was anastomosed in each case. Near normal hair growth recurred in both cases.
