Tissue expansion in oral and maxillofacial surgery
Keywords:
tissue expansion, oral, maxillofacial surgeryAbstract
Tissue expansion offers s new frontier in head and neck reconstruction by creating an excessive soft tissue, contiguous to the defect, with identical colour, thickness and appendages is a most vital and valuable tool in reconstruction of head and neck which requires meticulous treatment planning, correct patient selection and precise stepwise execution15. Like other modalities present in oral and maxillofacial surgery have some unfavourable results, tissue expansion is also present with some unfavourable complications. However as long as one anticipates these sequelae and complications and is able to tackle them satisfactorily, it remains one of the most exciting advancements in our field in the last 50 years.
