Plastic Surgery Hospital of CAMS and PUMC, Beijing.

The expanded forehead flap has been used to reconstruct the nose and repair facial defects simultaneously since Sept. 1991. During operation, the expanded flap was divided into two parts: one based on the supratrochlear vessels for nasal reconstruction, the other based on the frontal branch of the superficial temporal vessel for the facial defects, e.g. periorbital or zygomatic area, upper or lower lip. Four patients were treated with this method and satisfactory results obtained.

D015626	Tissue Expansion	A procedure whereby the body is stimulated to generate extra soft tissue by the application of stretching forces that stimulate new growth of tissue which, over a period of time, results in a 2-dimensional expansion of the tissue. The procedure is used in reconstructive surgery for injuries caused by trauma, burns, or ablative surgery. Various types of TISSUE EXPANSION DEVICES have been developed that exert stretching forces.
