Abstract
In many cases where a wound to be grafted is large, particularly in burns, the patient's condition may be aggravated by exposed donor sites. Adding thigh or even buttock scars to a patient must be carefully considered. The scalp, it appears, is a safe, reliable, and truly hidden donor site. For this and other reasons mentioned, its use should be promoted in plastic surgery.Keywords
