A novel treatment approach for traumatic scalp defects with exposed calvaria denuded of pericranium by combined application of low-temperature plasma and negative pressure wound therapy: A case series.

Background And Aims: Traumatic scalp defects with an exposed calvaria denuded of the pericranium are challenging to manage. In such cases, adjunctive therapies, such as milling the outer calvarial cortex and applying negative pressure wound therapy (NPWT), can promote granulation tissue. This case series describes the successful management of traumatic scalp defects after cortical craniectomy using a combination of low-temperature plasma (LTP) and NPWT.
