Abstract

The problem of treating tissue defects of the scalp to date remains one of the actual problems of modern medicine. Low elasticity, stiffness, and the presence of hair follicles and skin deficit dictate the need for new treatments, cosmetic relevant requirements of this zone. The use of expander dermotension in recent years has found its wide distribution in the treatment of defects and deformities of covering tissue anywhere on the body. On the example of a patient K.32 years old hospitalized with diagnosis—basal cell epithelioma of the scalp—the defect of soft tissues, we demonstrated the use of expander plastic in the treatment of defect covering tissues of the scalp. Thus, when there is a defect or deformation of covering tissues of the scalp, the most optimal is defect removal by tissues expander plastic. Transposition of pre fabricated by dermotension tissue complexes allows to liquidate quickly the defect of soft tissues, restoring normal full layered structure of the affected area of the scalp, and get good aesthetic results of treatment in these patients.
