title: [Possibilities of the use of the Converse scalp flap in maxillofacial surgery. Review of 13 cases].
abstract: 13 Converse scalping flaps have been done in the past 3 years. 11 cases were for nasal reconstruction, at least half nose which is its main indication including 4 after gun shot wounds and 7 for invasive skin cancers. The preference of this flap is discussed versus the other processes for reconstruction: median forehead flap whatever its design, Washio or orther fronto-auricular flaps, free flaps. Lining and framework repair are done in the same operation than cover when usefull. 2 other clinical cases illustrate other areas than nose where the Converse flap can be employed.
