Tissue Expansion for Burn Reconstruction
摘要
Tissue expansion was initially described by Neumann in the late 1950s, employing a rubber balloon placed in the subcutaneous plane of the scalp for ear reconstruction [1]. Neumann utilized a subcutaneous rubber balloon to expand a specific scalp area for ear reconstruction. Subsequently, Radovan [2] employed a sophisticated silicone implant for breast reconstruction. Following various clinical and experimental studies [3, 4], tissue expansion has become an established procedure in reconstructive surgery.
