In this case report, the authors found that hair transplantation on a free microvascular flap may be a viable and effective option for achieving good aesthetic outcomes when treating residual alopecia following reconstruction of large scalp defects.

This article reviews various reconstructive surgery techniques for scalp wounds and emphasizes factors affecting aesthetic outcomes, but it presents no new clinical findings.

In this case report, a 44-year-old woman underwent a successful hair transplantation using follicular unit extraction on a myocutaneous free flap, resulting in an 80 to 85% hair survival rate after 12 months and significant improvement in external alopecia aesthetics.

This study concluded that microsurgical reconstruction is a reliable method to achieve stable coverage of large, complex scalp defects, although cancer control rates were poor.

This article reviews the role of androgens in male pattern hair loss and its emotional impact, but reports no new clinical findings.

This article reviews the complex challenges of managing scalp and cranial deformities post-trauma or surgery, advocating for better multidisciplinary approaches to enhance outcomes, but reports no new results.

This review explores techniques for scalp reconstruction, focusing on local flap design and execution, without reporting new clinical findings.

This study found that muscle-only free flaps for skull coverage were associated with serious complications, suggesting that composite or thicker muscle flaps may reduce these risks.

This study reported that free tissue transfer for postcranioplasty implant exposure led to a 100% free flap survival rate and salvaged 91% of the implants without removal, suggesting it is a highly effective reconstructive option even for chronic cases.

This review discusses current techniques for scalp reconstruction following oncologic surgery and reports no new clinical outcomes, emphasizing the importance of tailored approaches for satisfactory closure.

This article reviews surgical techniques for addressing scalp defects and highlights hair restoration as a cosmetic improvement strategy, but it reports no new clinical results.

This research review explores an algorithmic approach to scalp reconstruction, emphasizing the importance of considering defect location, size, and local scalp anatomy in optimizing cosmetic and functional surgical outcomes.

This article reviews techniques for restoring appearance following scalp injuries and highlights the versatility of scalp expansion, advancement flaps, and follicular unit hair transplantation, but it provides no new clinical results.

This study found that serious complications were more likely after using muscle-only free flaps for skull coverage compared to composite flaps.

This review discusses available microsurgical reconstructive options for craniofacial surgery and reports no new clinical results; it highlights how innovations in the field have advanced reconstruction techniques.

This article reviews options and principles for reconstructing defects of the scalp, skull, orbit, and maxilla, but reports no new clinical results.

This study highlights the potential benefits and current limitations of robotic systems in nipple-sparing mastectomies, noting their promise in reducing surgeon fatigue but pointing out challenges such as longer operating times, high costs, and limited haptic feedback.

In this retrospective analysis, researchers evaluated 54 patients undergoing soft tissue reconstruction for scalp and forehead defects and reported excellent aesthetic outcomes with local flaps for defects up to 50 cm², while larger defects typically required additional skin grafting.

This study reviewed literature on the use of robotic systems in plastic and reconstructive surgery, highlighting their application in various procedures despite the predominance of descriptive case reports and a lack of comparative clinical outcomes and long-term data.

This study reports that hair transplantation using follicular unit extraction and direct hair implantation can effectively restore scalp hair in post-burn alopecia, achieving natural hair direction and satisfactory growth density.

This study observed that follicular unit extraction combined with direct hair implantation successfully restored hair in a patient with multifocal post-burn alopecia, achieving nearly natural growth density and patient satisfaction.

This case report describes a successful hair transplant surgery using the follicular unit extraction method to restore a bald area following scalp tumor resection and skin grafting, highlighting its utility in such complex cases.

This article from the PRS Global Open and ASPS Education Network does not present any new research findings; it likely serves as an introductory or descriptive overview.

In this study, 3D planned resection and reconstruction for skull defects after resection of cSCC with bony invasion led to accurate procedures, though patient-specific factors should guide treatment decisions.

The book is highly praised as an essential resource for plastic surgeons, despite minor gaps.

In this study with a rat muscle defect model, decellularized muscle matrix demonstrated better integration, neovascularization, and myogenesis compared to commercially available acellular dermal matrices, and also showed trends toward reduced inflammation and fibrosis after 30 and 60 days.

This study from China found that although traditional surgical techniques remain common, endoscopic-assisted surgery is linked with higher patient-reported satisfaction, suggesting its valuable potential for broader application in clinical settings. Factors like reduced bra cup size, surgical method, and implant placement influenced patient satisfaction.

This case report highlights a rare occurrence of squamous cell carcinoma developing at the site of synthetic hair implantation many years later, emphasizing the need for vigilance when examining chronic scalp lesions in patients with such procedures.
