title: [Reconstruction of skin defect at frontal hair line with mastoid fasciocutaneous island flap].
abstract: OBJECTIVE
  To investigate the reconstruction of skin defect at frontal and temporal hair line.
  
  
  METHODS
  5 cases with skin defect at frontal and temporal hair line were treated with mastoid fasciocutaneous island flap pedicled with parietal branch of superficial temporal artery.
  
  
  RESULTS
  All the flaps survived completely. Hair grew up 5 - 7 days after operation, showing good reconstructed hair line.
  
  
  CONCLUSIONS
  Mastoid fasciocutaneous island flap is a reliable method for reconstruction of skin defect at frontal and temporal hair line.
