Surgical Treatment of Secondary Cicatricial Alopecia of Scalp and Eyebrow

In the study conducted between June 2006 and July 2007, 24 patients with acquired cicatricial alopecia, caused by burns, mechanical trauma, and pyogenic infection, underwent surgical treatments for hair loss on the scalp and eyebrow. The patients, aged 6-48 with an average age of 26.25 years, received treatments including direct closure, advancement flaps with scalp expanders, scalp reduction, and strip composite hair-bearing scalp grafts. The study concluded that the choice of surgical method should depend on the defect's size, location, and shape, with 75% (18 out of 24 patients) experiencing good results. The study also assessed the complications and effectiveness of the various reconstruction techniques.
