The closure of difficult wounds has been an ongoing challenge to the plastic and reconstructive surgeon. New techniques and technology have created innovative methods for this clinical and surgical problem. The Canica Wound Closure System is an external system of tissue expansion that has previously been shown to be successful for delayed abdominal and extremity fasciotomy closures. The hair-bearing scalp is unique in that no other tissue in the human body can adequately simulate it. The first known case in North America of a patient in whom the Canica Wound Closure System was used for the successful closure of a large scalp defect following a resection for a Clark level V melanoma is presented.
对于整形外科和重建外科医生而言，闭合难愈伤口一直是一项持续存在的挑战。新技术和工艺为这一临床和外科问题创造了创新方法。Canica伤口闭合系统是一种外部组织扩张系统，此前已证明其在延迟性腹部和四肢筋膜切开术闭合方面取得成功。有毛发的头皮很独特，因为人体中没有其他组织能充分模拟它。本文介绍了北美首例使用Canica伤口闭合系统成功闭合因Clark V级黑色素瘤切除术后造成的大面积头皮缺损的病例。
