Tissue expansion has become firmly established as an acceptable and useful modality in the treatment of various soft tissue defects. This article relates our experience with this technique for the reconstruction of secondary burn deformities in 26 patients. Details of expander placement and use are discussed, as well as the results and complications in this series. The advantages of this method, including a superior quality reconstruction, limited donor site morbidity, and cost-effectiveness, are discussed. The disadvantages of several operative steps, multiple office visits, and the objectionable appearance during expansion are enumerated. Guidelines for patient selection and technique refinements are also considered to reduce complications and to achieve an optimal functional and aesthetic result.
