Abstract:   (9 Views)
This case report describes the surgical management and outcome of a 24-year-old female engineer who suffered a total scalp avulsion injury caused by an industrial food mixer. The injury extended from the level of the eyebrows to the back of her neck and was complicated by the traumatic amputation of her right-hand first finger. Successful replantation of the scalp was achieved using microsurgical techniques, with postoperative challenges including venous congestion requiring secondary intervention. This case highlights the importance of timely surgical intervention, comprehensive trauma management, and postoperative anticoagulation in extensive avulsion injuries.
