  • Title: Tissue expansion in dermatologic surgery.
    Author: Roenigk RK, Wheeland RG.
    Journal: Dermatol Clin; 1987 Apr; 5(2):429-36. PubMed ID: 3555907.
    Abstract:
    Reconstructive scar revision as a result of cutaneous malignancy, trauma, or cicatricial inflammatory disease can be augmented by tissue expansion. This more complicated, two-staged procedure provides expansion of adjacent, normal skin that is advanced as a flap to reconstruct defects with tissue of good color and texture match. Its adaptation in dermatology to scalp reduction for cicatricial alopecia and other cutaneous disease is described.
