Abstract
Reconstruction of cutaneous scalp defects from tumor ablation are currently managed with a wide array of coverage options. These include split- or full-thickness skin grafting, local or regional flaps, tissue expansion, and free tissue transfer with variations and combinations thereof. Many,of these options require multiple procedures, significant donor site morbidity, complex surgical techniques, attendant blood loss, and other associated surgical risks. The use of a dermal regeneration template (DRT) (Integra((R)), Integra Life Sciences, Plainsboro, New Jersey) obviates many of these disadvantages and can safely be performed under local anesthesia or as an outpatient procedure. The following case report describes the successful use of DRT with an ultra-thin split-thickness skin graft to reconstruct an 11 cm x 11 cm scalp defect after margin free excision of a malignant fibrous histiocytoma.
