Although posterior closure of male pattern baldness is usually accomplished in two procedures when using extensive scalp-lifting, there is the occasional patient who will require three operations because of very poor scalp laxity. A newly developed horseshoe-shaped tissue expander was designed for these patients so that a third procedure could be eliminated. This differential expander is actually placed during the first extensive scalp-lifting operation. This differs from the conventional placement as a separate preliminary operation. The significant salient features of this expander and the technique of placement are discussed in detail.
虽然在采用广泛头皮提升术治疗男性型秃发的后头部闭合时，通常分两步进行，但偶尔会有患者因头皮松弛度极差而需要进行三次手术。为此为这些患者设计了一种新开发的马蹄形组织扩张器，以便可以省去第三次手术。这种差异扩张器实际上是在首次广泛头皮提升手术时放置的。这与作为单独的预备手术的传统放置方式不同。本文将详细讨论这种扩张器的显著特征及放置技术。
