[The use of the internal tissue expansion procedure in reconstructive surgery. Preliminary study and report of 2 cases].

The Frechet extender, initially proposed and successfully used in scalp reductions, can have many other indications in reconstructive surgery. This paper describes the preliminary results obtained after using this internal tissue extender in the treatment of a limb burn scar and a congenital giant naevus of the back. After a 3 month follow-up, these results are excellent. This procedure gives good results especially when there is a bony support underneath the skin to be treated.

[Cutaneous dehiscences during tissue expansion: use of surgical adhesive plastic film].

Cutaneous expansion, especially in the lower limb, is sometimes complicated by the development of partial dehiscence of the surgical scar or a small area of necrosis over an angle of the prosthesis. The expander implant can be salvaged by closing the dehiscence with surgical adhesive film which allows continuation of expansion while preventing herniation of the prosthesis.
