Objective:To report the effect of the free anterolateral thigh flap with KISS technique in reconstruction of scalp defect.
Methods:11 patients with scalp tumor were treated with radical resection and free transfer of the anterolateral thigh flap with KISS technique from March 2016 to June 2017. The flap was designed carrying two skin pedals according to preoperative detection of perforators, then the flap was dissected to carry one main pedicle or two different pedicles, after that two skin pedals were assembled with the KISS technique to cover the wound.
Results:No total failure of flap was observed. No donor-site complication was observed. The contour of reconstructed scalp was satisfactory.
Conclusions:The free anterolateral thigh flap with KISS technique is reliable in reconstruction of scalp defect. It features low donor site morbidity, high reconstructive efficiency and reliable perfusion.
