Özet
Introduction: Tissue expansion is a reconstructive technique based on expanding adjacent tissues using a silicone balloon to attain an optimal aesthetic and functional result using local tissue when primary closure of a soft tissue defect is not possible. Although this technique has many advantages, a high complication rate may be seen when basic principles are not followed.
