A simple tissue expansion device effectively closed a large scalp defect from a pilomatrixoma, offering a low-cost, reliable alternative for reconstructive surgery.

Area of Science:

  • Dermatology
  • Plastic Surgery
  • Surgical Innovation

Background:

  • Scalp defect closure often involves complex procedures with significant complication rates.
  • Pilomatrixoma excision can result in large defects requiring advanced reconstructive techniques.

Observation:

  • A large scalp defect (8x10 cm) following pilomatrixoma excision was successfully managed.
  • A simple tissue expansion device, adapted from Cohn's model and utilizing readily available materials (vascular clamps, staples), was employed for 20 days.

Findings:

  • The tissue expansion device facilitated defect closure with satisfactory scar appearance.
  • This method proved efficient, reliable, and cost-effective for managing extensive scalp defects.

Implications:
