Total scalp, ear, and eyebrow avulsion: aesthetic adjustment of the replanted tissue.

A case of successful replantation of a total scalp avulsion, including both ears and one eyebrow, is presented with bilateral anastomoses to the superficial temporal vessels. While over 90 percent of the replant survived, partial loss of occipital and posterior neck skin and the inferior half of the left ear occurred. The patient subsequently required additional procedures, including skin grafting, scar revisions, and staged ear reconstructions. Thus, while microsurgery often provides the only hope for tissue salvage, there is a frequent need for additional revisions and aesthetic adjustment of portions of the replanted tissue.
