[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.
