Traumatic total scalp avulsion
⚠️ A case of a 21-year-old female patient with a #traumatic total scalp avulsion! . She was working in a factory when machinery caught her hair and removed her scalp. . The surgery lasted from 7 p.m. to 5 a.m. The affected area of scalp extended from the nape of the neck, up and over to the forehead and included part of one eyelid. Both ears were affected, leaving only the lobes intact. . The patient was put under general anesthesia. The team performed a surgical debridement of her face to remove devitalized tissue. The first major task was to explore the temporal area and avulsed scalp to identify the stumps of the superficial temporal vessels. Starting with the patient, they cleaned the vessels on both sides, trimming them back to healthy tissue. They moved to the scalp, cleaning and then trimming the hair and aggressively irrigating the tissue, followed by a debridement. . The scalp was secured to the patient with a couple of holding stiches. The surgeons isolated the right-side #artery on both the patient and the avulsed tissue and sutured them back together. . .
Modern medicine is simply a miracle. This is so incredibly outstanding that this IS POSSIBLE!
