Pages 285-289 | Received 10 Dec 1990, Published online: 08 Jul 2009
 

Abstract

To illustrate how the technique of tissue expansion may be adapted for different types of reconstruction, the following cases are described: a 10-year-old girl with a circumferential naevus from shoulder (at the back) and umbilicus (at the front) to the knees; a 3-year-old boy with a servere injury to the left arm; a 36-year-old man with an amputation injury of the left hip; and an 18-year-old girl with scars from a complicated fracture of the left lower leg. In all cases function and/or appearance were considerably improved.
