摘要

Objective

The aim of this retrospective study is to explore fat graft transfer as a viable option for reconstructing cutaneous scalp defects. This method was employed on patients with non-melanoma skin cancer of the scalp under local anesthesia.

Methods

Fat grafting was performed under local anesthesia in a group of patients with non-melanoma skin cancer of the scalp, aimed at addressing surgical defects.

Results

The surgical procedures were uneventful in all cases. The adipose tissue graft remained viable in all patients, and re-epithelization commenced from the edges of the resected area.

Conclusions

Fat graft transfer emerges as a promising option for scalp reconstruction due to its ability to deliver both favorable aesthetic and functional outcomes. Notably, patients experienced a swift return to their social and work life within a few days post-surgery. Moreover, this procedure can be safely performed on elderly patients with multiple comorbidities, expanding its applicability and benefits.
