摘要

Prefabrication was proposed in 1998 by Khouri et al. [1] as a solution for the neodevelopment of flaps when anatomy could not provide an adapted tissue for a specific surgical procedure, after seminal works done by Erol [2] and Pribaz [3]. The author developed a technique [4] using a vascular carrier placed above a large skin expansion device. This system induces an important angiogenetic process, allowing the expanded skin surface to be progressively vascularized by newly formed capillaries developed from the carrier. This technique may be used anywhere on the body, in particular for extensive scars of the face, to provide aesthetic improvement and a better quality of life.
