Popis: Brain surgery often requires wide excisions to ensure the radicality of the surgical intervention. In this context, the role of the plastic surgeon becomes essential in the reconstructive stage where outstanding soft tissue defects following life-saving neurosurgical interventions often require creation of large local flaps. By effectively covering the defects with quality tissues, the rapid healing of patients is ensured, as well as obtaining stable results over time. This paper presents the salvage surgical approach in the case of a patient operated for the recurrence of a brain tumor, the rotation scalp flap being the optimal choice for this case.
