[Experience with the use of Soviet interstitial expanders for eliminating soft-tissue defects in the head and neck area].
Extension of the skin with the help of an interstitial expander allows to rationally use local tissues. Soviet models of tissue expanders of different designs were developed and approved in clinic. 46 operations were performed on 23 patients. Effective results of using the expanders were obtained during repairing extensive defects of the hairy part of the head.
