The authors show a way of reconstruction of scalp defects with excellent results using a tissue expander. This method creates "new" scalp tissue for coverage of defects with normal hair-bearing skin having a dense and even growth of hair. The hairs grow in the correct direction. The authors also show that almost all of the "new" hair-bearing scalp gained by the tissue expander is a result of stretching the scalp over the expander and its close surroundings and that only a very minute portion is gained by migration of the scalp from farther away.
作者展示了一种使用组织扩张器重建头皮缺损的方法，效果极佳。该方法可制造出“新的”头皮组织，用以覆盖缺损部位，所覆盖的正常有毛皮肤毛发浓密且生长均匀。毛发朝正确方向生长。作者还表明，通过组织扩张器获得的几乎所有“新的”有毛头皮，都是头皮在扩张器及其紧邻区域上拉伸的结果，只有极小一部分是由较远部位的头皮迁移而来。
