One of the disadvantages of the radial forearm flap is the donor defect covered by split skin grafts. The use of a tissue expander allows direct closure of smaller donor defects resulting in a cosmetically more acceptable linear scar. The skin expander must be implanted adjacent to the planned radial forearm flap in the epifascial plane for at least six weeks, preferably for two to three months. The operative technique is demonstrated at a typical clinical case and experiences with six further patients reported.
桡侧前臂皮瓣的缺点之一是供区缺损需用断层皮片覆盖。使用组织扩张器可直接闭合较小的供区缺损，从而形成外观上更易接受的线性瘢痕。皮肤扩张器必须在筋膜上平面紧邻计划切取的桡侧前臂皮瓣植入，至少放置六周，最好是两到三个月。通过一个典型临床病例展示手术技术，并报告另外六例患者的经验。
