Özet

To cover a very large scalp defect, one may mobilize the remaining scalp to effect closure. However, sometimes skin grafting may be unavoidable. For this procedure, the prepared raw surface should be smooth and well vascularized. To achieve this in one case, a dermabrader has been used as an osteoabrader to remove the outer table to provide a surface with punctate bleeding. A good result was obtained with minimal hospitalization. © 1994 Springer-Verlag.
