Modified Reading Man Flap for Scalp Reconstruction: Report of Six Cases.

The Reading man flap remains unexplored in the scalp but may be an excellent reconstructive option. We present six cases of a modified version of the Reading man flap that decreases the risk of ischaemia and achieves good functional and aesthetic results. The steps in designing the modified flap are described. This flap allows for a highly efficient reconstruction by limiting the sacrifice of healthy tissue to a minimum and generating less tension in the closure.
