Abstract: Introduction: Scalp reconstruction is a surgical procedure used to repair defects in the scalp, whether partial or full-thickness, and congenital or acquired. The goal is to restore hair-bearing tissue and provide stable coverage while maintaining adequate contour. The choice of reconstruction method depends on the size and location of the defect, the patient’s overall health, and the surgeon’s preference. Materials and Methods: This is a retrospective study conducted over a 5-year period, from December 2019 to December 2024, within the Department of Plastic, Reconstructive, and Aesthetic Surgery at IBN SINA University Hospital in Rabat, Morocco. Results: The etiologies of the scalp defects were primarily tumor-related, Coverage of these defects was achieved using various techniques, ranging from split-thickness skin grafts to free flap reconstruction. A part from a single case of total flap necrosis, the outcome was good in the other cases. Conclusion: The choice of scalp reconstruction technique will depend on its size, etiology, location and the general condition of the patient.
