title: [Experience in using complex flaps on microvascular anastomoses in treating with skin cancer on the face and scalp, appearing in scarred areas].
abstract: The authors describe 11 patients operated upon for carcinoma of the face skin and hairy part of the head developing from scars of various etiology. The substitution of vast defects which had appeared after dissection of a tumor was performed by means of microsurgical autotransplantation of tissue complexes. The following vascularized autotransplants were used: musculus serratus anterior, scapular and radial grafts. Positive results were obtained in all the cases. The authors consider the microsurgical autotransplantation of tissue complexes to be a necessary component of surgical treatment of carcinoma of the skin and hairy part of the head developed from vast and deep scars.
