Tissue expansion can be a valuable tool in the reconstruction of soft-tissue defects in craniofacial clefts. To our knowledge, there have been no reports in the literature of the use of tissue expanders to help solve this problem. We report the case of a child with an atypical Tessier no. 3 craniofacial cleft who had a forehead tissue expander placed, inflated, and thus used to provide sufficient local facial skin for repair of the soft-tissue defect.
组织扩张术可以成为修复颅面裂软组织缺损的一项重要手段。据我们所知，文献中尚无使用组织扩张器来解决这一问题的报道。我们报告一例患有非典型特西尔3号颅面裂的儿童病例，该患儿置入并扩张了前额组织扩张器，从而利用其提供足够的局部面部皮肤来修复软组织缺损。
