Özet
Forehead soft tissue defects are most usually associated with motor vehicle accident and less commonly with physically assault, trauma resulting from falls, malignant tumor resection, and burn injury. These kinds of defects incorporate only the soft tissue in general but sometimes there are accompanying bone defects. Different reconstruction alternatives can be preferred depending on the defect type and the amount of tissue loss. In this report, a patient who underwent surgery for tumor excision is presented. After surgical excision, denuded frontal bones were covered with subgaleal-subperiosteal flap. Split thickness skin graft harvested from the medial upper arm was used for skin resurfacing. Optimal healing and cosmetic outcome were obtained using 1-step surgical procedure.
