Tissue expanders are particularly applicable in the pediatric population. They are extremely well tolerated by children and can withstand the everyday play and trauma unique to children. Over the past 2 years, we have used 26 tissue expanders in 17 pediatric patients. Fifteen of the 17 patients successfully underwent reconstructive surgery with the aid of expanders. The expander became exposed in two patients, necessitating removal. In each of these patients, a more complicated and less satisfactory method of reconstruction was performed.
组织扩张器特别适用于儿科患者。儿童对其耐受性极佳，能够承受儿童特有的日常玩耍和外伤。在过去两年中，我们对17名儿科患者使用了26个组织扩张器。17名患者中有15名在扩张器的辅助下成功接受了重建手术。有两名患者的扩张器发生外露，需要将其取出。对这两名患者均采用了更复杂且效果欠佳的重建方法。
