The ability to increase available local tissue by controlled soft tissue expansion has led to a rapid increase in the use of this technique in clinical practice. Our experience in the treatment of children with a wide variety of lesions, in all body areas, demonstrates the advantages and benefits of this relatively new procedure for the pediatric age group. While complications such as infection, implant exposure, deflation, hematoma, and seroma may occur and alter the timing of reconstruction, they rarely compromise the final result. Tissue expansion offers many advantages in soft tissue reconstruction in children when tissue of color, texture, and characteristics similar to that of the defect may be limited.
通过可控的软组织扩张来增加局部可用组织的能力，已导致该技术在临床实践中的使用迅速增加。我们在治疗全身各部位患有各种病变的儿童方面的经验，证明了这种相对较新的手术方法对儿童年龄组的优势和益处。虽然可能会出现感染、植入物暴露、放气、血肿和血清肿等并发症，并改变重建的时机，但它们很少会影响最终结果。当颜色、质地和特性与缺损相似的组织可能有限时，组织扩张在儿童软组织重建中具有许多优势。
