Abstract
Temporary ectopic implantation with secondary replantation at the anatomic site is useful in salvage of extremities or organs [Godina M, Bajec J, Baraga A. Salvage of the mutilated upper extremity with temporary ectopic implantation of the undamaged part. Plast Reconstr Surg 1986;78: 295–99; Chernofsky MA, Sauer PF. Temporary ectopic implantation.

J Reconstr Microsurg 2006;22:15–20]. Temporary ectopic implantation is usually considered due to poor conditions for replantation at the anatomic site.We report a case of near-total scalp avulsion treated by temporary implantation to the lower abdomen with secondary replantation.
