Tissue expansion is a means of mechanically creating an excess of soft tissue, contiguous to a defect, for use in reconstruction. To accomplish this, a self-inflating implant has been designed, tested, and used clinically. It offers potential advantages over similar percutaneously inflated devices, but has also presented new problems. Histologically, tissue expansion in the guinea pig is relatively innocuous, utilizing this implant; clinical results were similarly encouraging. Further clinical studies and applications await the identification of a more permeable membrane.
组织扩张是一种通过机械手段在缺损部位附近制造多余软组织以用于重建的方法。为实现这一目的，一种自膨胀植入物已被设计、测试并应用于临床。与类似的经皮充气装置相比，它具有潜在优势，但也带来了新问题。从组织学角度看，利用这种植入物在豚鼠身上进行组织扩张相对无害；临床结果同样令人鼓舞。进一步的临床研究和应用有待于找到一种渗透性更强的膜。
