COMBINED PLASTY OF DEFECTS OF CRANIAL VAULT IN COMPLEX TREATMENT OF PATIENTS WITH LOCALLY-ADVANCED SKIN CANCER

Combined reparative surgery is most acceptable in view of its relative simplicity and convenience in replacement of anatomically complex and very extensive defects of skin occurring after excision of advanced tumours of the scalp. We have
applied this method when all other plastic operations failed, in cases of extensive skin lesions with infiltration of underlying
tissues, i.e. in cases presenting technical limit of possible excision.
Complete engraftment in combined plastic surgery is possible even in cases of vast excision of tumour with ablation
of underlying bone.
