Area of Science:

  • Plastic Surgery
  • Reconstructive Surgery
  • Tissue Engineering

Background:

  • Tissue expansion is a valuable technique in reconstructive surgery.
  • It allows for the creation of large, well-vascularized flaps for correcting skin defects.
  • These flaps match the surrounding skin in color, texture, and thickness.
