“…While it will not provide the same amount of tissue expansion, it has been shown to be an effective method in the creation of additional local tissue for reconstructive purposes. 3,4,7,15 Foster et al 4 in a case series study on the use of RITE in eyelid reconstruction reported an average reduction of 36% in the linear extent of eyelid margin defects. When applied with the Fricke flap, RITE allows more effective use of the Fricke flap and its application to a wider range of periocular tissue defects.…”

“…The effectiveness and applicability of the technique is potentially enhanced when used in combination with rapid intraoperative tissue expansion (RITE), 3 a technique that has been described as causing a linear tissue expansion of 36%. 4 We report our results using the Fricke flap in the reconstruction of upper or lower eyelid defects.…”

Purpose To revisit an important but outmoded periorbital reconstructive technique.We present cases to illustrate the usefulness of the Fricke flap and describe a method of rapid intraoperative tissue expansion (RITE), which can enhance the applicability and effectiveness of the Fricke flap. A comparison between those cases performed with and without adjunctive RITE was not made due to the low numbers available. Methods A retrospective review of clinical cases. Results A total of 20 cases in which the Fricke flap was used for periorbital reconstruction were reviewed. The mean patient age was 64.7 years; the male-to-female ratio was 1 : 1. The patient follow-up ranged from 1 to 8 years with a mean of 4.2 years. The most common cause (65%) of periorbital defect was excision of eyelid malignancy. Necrosis of the terminal segment of the flap requiring further surgical intervention occurred in 10%

“…Die intraoperative Expansion ist eine Erweiterung des Spektrums des Expandereinsatzes in Bereichen wie Thoraxwanddefekten [12], in der Gesichtschirurgie zur Lidrekonstruktion [7], zur Gesichtsrekonstruktion [2,6] und zum Verschluss anderer Weichteildefekte auch in der septischen plastischen Chirurgie, zum Beispiel zur Deckung von Sakraldekubitus [1].…”

The use of the space maker is a scar-sparing technique. Time of operation and overall duration of expansion are reduced. Patient comfort is clearly improved. The negligible costs of a space maker are compensated by the cost reduction due to shorter operating time, fewer outpatient contacts and a low complication rate. The indications for the use of balloon dissectors are the expansion of skin (scar correction after burns, trauma, tumour), breast reconstruction and augmentation, and the prefabrication and rapid intraoperative expansion of musculocutaneous flaps.
