 Recipient-site complications include (total or partial) flap necrosis, wound infection, dehiscence, hematoma or skin graft failure.To avoid major bleeding or sensibility disorders, the anatomy of the scalp must be respected, such as by making incisions parallel to rather than across blood vessels.Due to the rich perfusion, scalp injuries can lead to serious bleeding, which may be difficult to stem if the cut blood vessels retract into the fat.
