Reconstruction of large alopecia with old technique: V‐Y‐S plasty

Treatment of alopecia following burns, trauma or tumour surgery is challenging. Local flaps for small or medium sized defects and tissue expansion for larger defects is the common approach. Tissue expansion is a two‐stage procedure and the inflation process causes difficulty for patients. V‐Y‐S plasty is safe and one‐stage method of tissue reconstruction for scalp, face and other parts of the body. We performed this method safely for very large alopecia reconstructions in the scalp.
