Among the diverse reconstruction alternatives used in surgical wounds, those employing cutaneous grafts are implemented when the closure – primary or by second intention – is unfeasible or, due to other factors, flaps are not recommend. The repair of surgical wounds using partial thickness graft obtained from the scalp with a flexible blade is described in 3 cases of conventional exeresis (2 basal cell carcinomas in the nasal region and 1 case of squamous cell carcinoma on the dorsum of the hand). The technique yielded good aesthetic outcomes, both in the receiver and donor areas.
