	eMedicine - Scalp Anatomy : Article by M Abraham Kuriakose, MD, DDS, FRCS
		The veins of the scalp freely anastomose with one another and are connected to the diploic veins of the skull bones and the intracranial dural sinuses through several emissary veins.
		The supratrochlear and supraorbital veins drain the anterior region of the scalp.
		The part of the scalp that is anterior to the auricles is drained to the parotid, submandibular, and deep cervical lymph nodes.

	Synopsis of Scalp Acupuncture
		In scalp acupuncture, the needles are to be inserted within a thin layer of loose tissue beneath the scalp surface, at a low angle of about 15–30 degrees, involving an insertion distance of about 1 cun [the cun is a variable unit of measure based on body size; about one inch for an adult].
		Scalp points are especially effective because they are close to the part of the body that is affected, namely the brain.
		Qu Hong and his colleagues (8) described their scalp acupuncture technique for treating pseudobulbar paralysis as follows: “A filiform needle was rapidly inserted for a depth of 1–1.5 cun in the direction of the motor/sensory area, followed by rapid twistings for 0.5–1 minute until the appearance of the needling sensation.

	Scalp Extender (Site not responding. Last check: )
		With scalp extension (Figures 6, 7 and 8), based on the first patients not treated previously, the total maximum width of the two excisions performed at the insertion and removal of the extender was an average 9.4 cm, measured at the vertex.
		With scalp reduction on a comparable group of patients, four operations and 168 days of treatment were required to remove a width of 9.6 cm of bald scalp under similar conditions and six operations spaced out over a year of treatment to remove a width of 12.5 to 15.5 cm in the best of cases.
		In comparison with scalp reduction, with two successive scalp extensions, the number of operations is also cut in half (three instead of six) and treatment reduced by four-fifths to remove a width of 12.5 to 15.5 cm.

	Scalp cooling : Cancerbackup (Site not responding. Last check: )
		Scalp cooling is a method of reducing the loss of hair from the head, which occurs during treatment with some chemotherapy drugs.
		Some doctors worry about using scalp cooling with treatment that aims to cure the cancer, as they fear that cancer cells may be more likely to survive the chemotherapy than if it were not used.
		For scalp cooling to work, your scalp needs to be cold for up to 30–40 minutes before your chemotherapy drugs are given – and for some time afterwards.

	Scalp Reductions - NHI
		Scalp reductions, a technique to reduce the size of the bald area by essentially "cutting it out" was first described in 1977 by Dr's.
		Scalp reductions deplete this supply by simultaneously decreasing both the donor density and scalp laxity; a bad combination when the benefit is merely to reduce the size of a non-critical cosmetic area.
		As a result of the scalp reduction, the donor density decreases, so that a larger donor area must now be harvested to yield the same amount of hair, but the larger strip becomes more difficult to remove due to a tighter scalp.

	Hair Replacement
		Scalp reduction: This technique is sometimes referred to as advancement flap surgery because sections of hair-bearing scalp are pulled forward or "advanced" to fill in a bald crown.
		After the scalp is injected with a local anesthetic, a segment of bald scalp is removed.
		Because strenuous activity increases blood flow to the scalp and may cause your transplants or incisions to bleed, you may be instructed to avoid vigorous exercise and contact sports for at least three weeks.

	Scalp Expansion Surgery for Alopecia Reduction: Medical Hair Restoration Option
		The man most likely to benefit from bald scalp excision and hair-bearing scalp advancement is a man (1) who has enough hair at the sides and back of the head to provide adequate coverage after bald scalp excision, and (2) does not have rapidly progressive male-pattern hair loss.
		The degree to which scalp tissue can expand in response to under-the-scalp pressure is seen naturally in people who have untreated hydrocephalus or large epithelial tumors of the scalp.
		The patient is taken to an operating room for (1) gathering expanded bald scalp into a "pleat" for excision, (2) excising the pleated bald scalp, (3) advancing hair-bearing scalp to cover the areas of excised bald scalp, and (4) suturing the hair-bearing scalp to create a total or near-total correction of hair loss.

	BBC - Health - Ask the doctor - Cancer - scalp cooling (Site not responding. Last check: )
		The scalp is cooled either by wearing a special cap (like a swimming cap) full of gel which has been chilled, or by sitting under a machine a bit like an old-fashioned hairdryer which circulates cold air around the head.
		One of the main problems of this technique is the risk that some cancer cells may be in the blood vessels of the scalp and so avoid chemotherapy leading to a recurrence of the cancer.
		Scalp cooling isn't suitable when chemotherapy must be circulated through the body for a long period (the scalp must be kept very cool the whole time that the drugs are in the body and some time afterwards) or when very high doses are needed.

		Then the connective tissue underneath the shaded area (attaching the scalp to the skull) is carefully severed, using a scalpel or a scissors, "releasing" the small area of bald scalp.
		A limited amount of bald scalp is removed during typical Scalp Reductions, so 4 to 7 surgeries are may be needed to completely remove a medium size "bald spot" in the crown.
		Scalp Lifts remove more scalp tissue, and require more extensive "undermining", but the goal is the same: removing a bald (or balding) area of scalp, then pulling the scalp together and sewing the gap closed.
