The use of tissue expanders having external reservoirs is presented. Twenty-four patients had 36 tissue expanders placed in the scalp, face, neck, upper limbs, chest, and lower limbs. All patients, apart from one, were taken to completion. This patient had erosion of the skin over expander and was only partially completed after removal of the expander. Apart from one instance of deflation at the end of the expansion where the skin could still be used, there were no other complications, in particular, no infections. The advantages of this technique are reduced operating time, ease of injection into the reservoir, lack of pain for the patient, early detection of reservoir or filling tube junction leakage, and lack of complications associated with the reservoir. This procedure is not recommended on at least theoretical grounds for breast expansion, where a permanent implant is to be inserted.
介绍了具有外部储液器的组织扩张器的使用情况。24例患者在头皮、面部、颈部、上肢、胸部和下肢放置了36个组织扩张器。除1例患者外，所有患者均完成了治疗。该患者扩张器上方皮肤出现糜烂，在取出扩张器后仅部分完成治疗。除了在扩张结束时出现一次皮肤仍可使用的放气情况外，没有其他并发症，尤其是没有感染。该技术的优点包括手术时间缩短、易于向储液器注射、患者无疼痛、能早期发现储液器或填充管连接处渗漏以及无与储液器相关的并发症。至少从理论上讲，对于要植入永久性植入物的乳房扩张，不推荐使用该方法。
