Tissue Expansion

Tissue expansion technique is used in deformities where we need good quality of skin for reconstruction. The common indications are total nose reconstruction using expanded forehead flap, post burns scalp alopecia. The procedure involves insertion of silicon tissue expander under the skin at first stage. The expantion started by injecting saline through the external unidirectional port. After complete expantion and maturation at second stage the expander is removed and this expanded skin is used for reconstruction.
