There is little reported on serial tissue expansion for reconstruction of burns of the head and neck. Fourteen children (mean age 7.8 years, range 3-11 years) treated over almost an 11 year period, had a total of 67 expanders used. Fourteen children had expansion performed on the first occasion, 14 again on a second occasion, 10 on a third occasion and one on a fourth occasion. The major complication rate (expander extruded prior to completion of the expansion process) was 21,25 and 14%, respectively. In all cases, the burn scar was completely excised or reduced in size. Serial tissue expansion should be considered as a useful method of reconstruction burns of the head and neck.
关于连续组织扩张用于头颈部烧伤重建的报道较少。在近11年的时间里，对14名儿童（平均年龄7.8岁，范围3 - 11岁）进行了治疗，共使用了67个扩张器。14名儿童首次进行扩张，14名第二次进行扩张，10名第三次进行扩张，1名第四次进行扩张。主要并发症发生率（在扩张过程完成前扩张器被挤出）分别为21%、25%和14%。在所有病例中，烧伤瘢痕均被完全切除或缩小。连续组织扩张应被视为头颈部烧伤重建的一种有用方法。
