Tissue expansion is valuable for repairing defects from Mohs micrographic surgery, especially on the face and scalp. Consider this technique before surgery, as complications are common but manageable.

Area of Science:

  • Dermatologic surgery
  • Reconstructive surgery

Background:

  • Mohs micrographic surgery can result in defects requiring complex reconstruction.
  • Tissue expansion offers a viable reconstructive option for specific defect locations.

Purpose of the Study:

  • To highlight the utility of tissue expansion in Mohs surgery reconstruction.
  • To guide the consideration of tissue expansion before Mohs surgery for certain defects.

Main Methods:

  • Review of cases where tissue expansion was used for Mohs surgery defects.
  • Discussion of intraoperative and rapid expansion techniques.
  • Analysis of potential complications associated with tissue expansion.

Main Results:

  • Tissue expansion is effective for repairing defects of the nose, forehead, temple, and scalp.

  • It can also address extensive defects in other anatomical areas.
  • Anticipation and management of frequent complications are crucial for successful outcomes.

    • Conclusions:

    • Tissue expansion is a valuable technique for reconstructing defects after Mohs micrographic surgery.
    • Pre-operative consideration of tissue expansion is recommended for specific facial and scalp defects.
    • Awareness and anticipation of complications are essential for optimal results.
