Brief Summary
Review the sponsor-provided synopsis that highlights what the study is about and why it is being conducted.
Objective: To demonstrate the choice of expander sizes proper for the tissue defect and maximum advancement technique during the defect coverage.
Methods: The present study included 19 patients who were operated between January 2013 and January 2017. The expander projection was chosen in the manner that it would be more than the half length of the defect to be occurred and the expander width was chosen as wide as possible based on the area of its placement. After the expansion was completed, advancement method was used to cover the defect.
