Case ReportsThe role of microsurgery in salvage operations for cranio-cerebral gunshot wounds: a case report.
A case of gunshot wound of the brain associated with a scalp defect is presented. Repair of the scalp defect was primarily achieved by multiple rotation flaps. ⋯ The patient underwent a secondary reconstruction by a free forearm flap. Despite an infected recipient bed and poor general condition, the postoperative course was uneventful and the healing was complete within 1 month.
