    Area of Science:

    • Plastic Surgery
    • Regenerative Medicine
    • Tissue Engineering

    Context:

    • Post-burn tissue defects and deformities often require reconstructive surgery.
    • Skin grafting is a common method for repairing these defects.
    • Tissue expansion is a technique used to increase the available skin surface area.

    Purpose:

    • To evaluate the efficacy of using multiple tissue-stretching instruments in reconstructive plastic surgery.
    • To determine if employing more than one instrument improves outcomes for patients with significant tissue loss.
    • To assess the benefits of tissue expansion for preparing large skin areas for grafting.

    Summary:

    • Treatment of 7 patients indicated that approximately half benefited from using two or more tissue-stretching instruments for post-burn defects.
    • This multi-instrument approach facilitates the preparation of larger skin areas, utilizing uninjured tissue.
    • Specific technical manipulations are described for the transposition of dermal-fat and dermal-fascia grafts, optimizing material use.

    Impact:

    • The findings suggest that employing multiple tissue-stretching devices can lead to superior results in plastic operations for burn survivors.
    • This method allows for more rational utilization of graft material, potentially reducing donor site morbidity.
    • Improved skin preparation through multi-instrument tissue expansion can enhance the success of reconstructive procedures.
