Özet

A case of immediate replantation of an avulsed scalp by microvascular anastomosis is presented. Microvascular replantation of the scalp seems to offer significant social and psychological advantages over secondary reconstructive procedures. The significance of the case presented is the regaining of the motor neural function of the facial nerve after 38 months.
