TY - CHAP M1 - Book, Section TI - The Scalp A1 - Kantor, Jonathan Y1 - 2017 N1 - T2 - Atlas of Suturing Techniques: Approaches to Surgical Wound, Laceration, and Cosmetic Repair AB - Closures on the scalp, like those on the shins, often involve narrow wounds under significant tension. Most surgical repairs on the scalp take place on the bald scalp of older men, where years of actinic damage have contributed to skin cancer development. In such cases, the skin may be slightly atrophic, and the degree of tissue mobility is variable, with some patients demonstrating a remarkably elastic and redundant tissue reserve and others presenting with a tight scalp with minimal laxity.
