Results Of 23 patients,postoperative scalp expansion flap good blood supply ,a period to solve the high tension electrical injury caused by skull necrosis and scarred alopecia problems .The patients according to the wound debride-ment and repair requirements using different surgical incision for dilator implantation ,wound and flap infection ,dilated flap poor blood supply ,necrosis,dilator exposed and other issues did not occur after surgery .Conclusion Flexible use of expander embedded surgical incision can be more effectively adapted to the wound repair requirements ,timely reduction of implantation expander surgery when the difficulty of stripping ,shorten the operation time,the maximum possible protection of healthy scalp tissue ,and eventually get a satisfactory clinical cosmetic repair effect .
