title: Rapid intraoperative distension using isotonic saline solution.
abstract: Rapid intraoperative expansion can provide a solution to certain losses of cutaneous substance. In some cases where this method proves useful, I have been able to obtain interesting results by using distension with saline. I would like to show the importance of this operating technique, as well as its limits and advantages.
