FIG. 9-18. The scalp flap developed venous congestion, relieved by use of medicinal leeches for 6 days.


FIG. 9-19. Long-term follow-up. The donor twin (right) had no residual alopecia after revision of second-stage scar.


FIG. 9-20. No sequelae developed from the occipital expansion.


FIG. 9-21. The right lateral view of the donor twin and frontal view of recipient show donor and recipient areas. The donor scar is alopecic, but easily covered.


FIG. 9-22. Lateral view of recipient with fairly full head of hair. This case illustrates the use of multiple homologous transplants and tissue expansion.
