Abstract
Tissue expansion offers the reconstructive surgeon a better option than the conventional methods of skin grafts or the transfer for non–hair-bearing, regional or microsurgical flaps for reconstructing large defects that cannot be repaired with adjacent hair-bearing flaps. Aspects of preoperative planning and technical factors of scalp expansion are presented to assist the clinician in managing these difficult reconstructive challenges.
