Chronic tissue expansion has gained an accepted role in reconstructive surgery. Recently, intraoperative tissue expansion (rapid expansion) has been introduced as an alternate technique for recruitment of additional tissue to aid in wound closure. At the present time, the available expanders are designed for single use and then must be discarded; thus they are relatively expensive. We present the use of the readily accessible Foley catheter as a suitable, inexpensive, safe, and practical device for intraoperative tissue expansion.
慢性组织扩张术在重建外科中已获得公认的地位。最近，术中组织扩张（快速扩张）作为一种用于获取额外组织以协助伤口闭合的替代技术被引入。目前，现有的扩张器设计为一次性使用，然后必须丢弃；因此它们相对昂贵。我们介绍使用易于获得的 Foley 导管作为一种适用于术中组织扩张的合适、廉价、安全且实用的装置。
