Sažetak

Defects of the scalp and calvaria most frequently occur as a result of invasive growth of intra- or extracranial malignant or benign tumors, or as a result of trauma.
During a five-year period, from 2004 to 2008, 21 patients (12 men and 9 women) underwent reconstructive surgery for scalp and calvaria defects at the Department of Plastic Surgery, “Dubrava” University Hospital. The patients were divided into groups with regard to the etiology of the defect, size, depth, reconstruction technique, number of surgical procedures, complications and duration of hospitalization. Different local flaps were successfully used for reconstruction of small and medium-sized defects of the scalp and calvaria, while large defects were reconstructed using free microvascular flaps.
Successful treatment of the scalp and calvaria defects depends on accurate indication and the choice of an appropriate reconstruction technique.
