“…These complications exerted a negative influence on the efficiency of the tissue expansion, its duration, and the results of the treatment. Our statistics correspond to those documented in the literature database [2,6,7,9,10,15,19]. Wound dehiscence and pressure sores, which tended to develop at sites overlying the expanders, were seen in combination with complications related to the implantation itself (seroma, hematoma, and infection) in 72.5% and 64.7% of patients, respectively .…”

“…According to reports in the literature, the average duration of the expansion process is 2-3 months, and the rate of complications varies from 5% to 39% and can be as high as 70% [2,6,7,9,10,15,19]. This high risk of complications considerably restricts the wide practical application of tissue expansion.…”

“…A utilização de expansores, nos membros inferiores, não tem sido motivo de muitas publicações, devido ao temor da sua utilização pelo maior número de complicações neste segmento e pela maior dificuldade na condução do processo de expansão, principalmente quando é realizado na perna, o que requer maior restrição ao paciente [13][14][15][17][18][19] .…”

“…Sua principal indicação é estatística [16][17][18]20,21 , mas uma indicação pouco mencionada nos trabalhos sobre membros inferiores, é a sua utilização no tratamento das seqüelas de poliomielite 22 . Nestes casos, em que há atrofia de perna, utilizamos a expansão prévia da região para a confecção de bolsa, o que possibilita a colocação de implantes maiores e mais adequados o que, a nosso ver, não ocorreria sem o procedimento de expansão.…”

“…Evaluations of the development of neovascularization in these expanded prefabricated flaps were not found in either the experimental or clinical literature. This study was therefore carried out in the Chinchilla Bastard rabbit model to investigate neovascularization in such flaps at intervals of 4,8,12,16, and 20 days after prefabrication. …”
