Özet
Scalp avulsions are rare but can be quite morbid clinical manifestations. Pediatric patients are different from adults as they have not completed their physical, sexual, educational, or psychosocial development. Therefore, the devastation of a failed scalp replantation is much greater on these individuals, their whole future lives, and families. We present 2 consecutive pediatric cases retrospectively with the youngest successful replanted patient in Turkey and describe technical tips according to our experience.
