Will there be sequelae after the surgery for scalp angioma?

Patient's question:

I have a scalp angioma on the back of my head, and it has been there for many years. Recently, I plan to have surgery for it. Does this type of surgery have any aftereffects?

Doctor's answer:

Surgical resection of scalp angiomas can affect the blood supply to the scalp, leading to scalp necrosis. However, scalp angioplasty ortherapy may cause localized scalp hardening. The best method for treating localized scalp hardening is plastic surgery, including the implantation of local expanders to expand the scalp area, followed by complete excision of the angioma to minimize postoperative complications.
After surgery, it is generally necessary to pay close attention to postoperative care. The diet should be light and avoid spicy or irritating foods. Follow the doctor's advice and undergo regular follow-up examinations, which is sufficient.
