Salvage of infected expanded scalp without loss of flap length

Abstract:
This case presents the dilemma of a scalp infection emerging at the conclusion of soft-tissue expansion. Basic principles of wound infection would dictate that the foreign body (the inflatable prosthesis) be removed and that the infection be treated before inset of the flap. The prevention of possible loss of flap length due to skin contraction during treatment of the infection was avoided by stretching the flap over the intact scalp temporarily, thus maintaining its expanded status.
