Abstract:
Objective To investigate a expander placement technique for fast tissue expansion. Methods Port-free thin wall expanders with long tube were specially made and tested on 45 cases of patients with skin scar. All expanders were placed subcutanuously through intralesional perpendicular short incisions with injection tube laid out. A large amount of saline was injected to expanders intraoperatively. Three sorts of fast expansion were carried out. Results Under the local tumescent anaesthesia, subcutaneous pockets were all dissected successfully. The amount of bleeding was less and no patient received blood infusion. All of forty five cases completed fast expansion satisfactorily without incision infection and dehiscence. Conclusion The technique of intralesional perpendicular short incisions has the advantages of less invasion and better safety, and suitable for fast tissue expansion.
