title: Vulva reconstruction with a tissue expander.
abstract: A patient with exstrophy of the bladder in whom we performed vulva reconstruction using a tissue-expansion technique and local flaps was presented. The ultimate result was in concert with the anatomic characteristics of normal external genitalia with regard to type of skin, pigmentation, hair pattern, quality of circulation, and sensory supply.
