Abstract
Background: Reconstruction of skin defects after oncological surgery for a cutaneous squamous cell carcinoma is often mandatory to facilitate adjuvant treatment and/or to prevent chronic wound problems. Some of the most challenging regions to reconstruct after resection of a skin tumor are the frontal and parietal parts of the skull.
Methods: This article describes three patients with large skin defects after oncological surgery that were reconstructed with the use of a (hemi) visor flap.
Results: The (hemi) visor flap is easy to harvest, resulting in a concise procedure and short hospitalization with maximum wound control.
Conclusion: The (hemi) visor flap is a safe and reliable option for the closure of large skin defects on the skull. Especially in the older and frail patient group.
