Successful replantation of a totally avulsed scalp.
A case of a totally avulsed scalp was replanted successfully by microvascular anastomosis. Though the avulsed part was heavily crushed, which resulted in a central wound, the appearance of a "necrotic" area, haematomas and persistent serous exudation after the restoration of circulation, the whole scalp survived.
