surgical technique transferring scalp tissue for reconstruction

The Temporoparietal Occipital Flap (TPO flap) is a surgical technique used in reconstructive surgery, particularly for scalp and hair restoration. It involves transferring a section of skin and underlying tissue from the temporoparietal and occipital regions of the scalp to another area that needs coverage or repair. This method is often employed to address extensive hair loss or to repair defects caused by trauma or surgery.
