Abstract

produce more skin. The method has wide application including reconstruction following trauna and bums, but the most common use of tissue expanders is in breast reconstruction after mastectomy.. , In this department, breast reconstruction using a tissue expander which can be left as an implant after expansion _ is complete is regularly used. This technique was first described by Becker (1), and since it was introduced into_ A.
