Application of tissue expander in repairing scalp and forehead skin defects

BACKGROUND: Repair of scalp and forehead skin defects caused by postburn scars or congenital factors is a fairly challenging problem in plastic surgery.OBJECTIVE: To explore a better method than the traditional operative method for scalp and forehead reconstruction with good aesthetic and functional results.DESIGN: A controlled study comparing the preoperative and postoperative findings.SETTING and PARTICIPANTS: Seventy-two consecutive patients (including 33 male and 39 female patients, aged from 4 to 45 years) who had congenital or acquired skin defects on the scalp and forehead, hospitalized in Plastic Surgery Hospital, Peking Union Medical College, were selected in the study.METHODS: Retrospective analysis was conducted for the 72 patients who were treated with skin expander.MAIN OUTCOME MEASURES: The results of skin defect reconstruction and incidences of complications were evaluated in these cases.RESULTS: According to the types of the defects, different treatments were adopted. Complications occurred in 12 cases accounting for a total incidence of 16.7%, including infections, hematoma, exposure or deflation of the expander and hair loss.CONCLUSION: Skin expansion for scalp and forehead skin defect reconstruction can obtain satisfactory aesthetic and functional results by careful preoperative design, improving surgical skills and effective prevention of complications.
