[Clinical application of intraoperative sustained limited expansion].
Since May 1993, the technique of intraoperative sustained limited expansion (ISLE) had been applied clinically in 21 cases for the immediate reconstruction of soft tissue defects. Satisfactory results were obtained in 18 cases (85.7%), and failed in 3 cases (14.3%). ISLE had been applied successfully in various regions of the body. It had been shown that the results were dependent on the extent of soft tissue defect, the extent of intraoperative tissue gain, and the time of intraoperative sustained expansion.
