Abstract


 

Today, tissue expansion is an often preferred method in scalp reconstruction. This technique originated in the late

resurfaced while normal hair is maintained with no a new donorsite morbidity. Therefore importance of this

method still persists. In this article, intra operative re-usage of tissue expander is presented for closure of a large

scalp defect.

Key words: Scalp defect, tissue expander, tissue expansion.
