Using tissue expanders for scalp reconstruction in patients with extensive Aplasia Cutis Congenita is effective and has minimal complications.

This review discusses techniques for repairing large scalp defects, emphasizing the combination of older methods like scalp reduction and tissue expansion with modern hair restoration surgery to achieve satisfactory results, despite challenges like compromised scalp viability due to factors like trauma or radiation.

This study found that intraoperative tissue expansion increased the amount of excised scalp by 20-30% during scalp reduction surgery for male pattern alopecia.

This article discusses the use of tissue expansion combined with older surgical techniques to repair large scalp defects and reports no new clinical results.

This study found that using overexpanded tissue expanders effectively restored the hairy scalp in 25 patients with scalp alopecia, resulting in high satisfaction and minimal complications, emphasizing the importance of careful patient selection and follow-up.

This case report describes a 43-year-old woman with scarring burn alopecia treated with tissue expansion and local flap reconstruction, who experienced reversible acute hair loss (Telogen Effluvium) after the procedure.

This study found that adding galeotomies to subgaleal tissue expander placement for post-burn alopecia resulted in faster scalp expansion and reduced complications of expander extrusion.

This study found that the "flying-wings" expanded scalp flap technique effectively restored hemiscalp defects in children following burns, achieving pleasing aesthetic results and proper hair growth direction with minimal complications.

This report describes successful scalp resurfacing using serial tissue expansion with a tissue expander in two patients with large lesions, suggesting this method can effectively treat extensive hairless scalp areas.

This case study reports successful treatment of partial scalp alopecia secondary to a repaired occipital encephalocele using the tissue expansion technique.

This study conducted in Yemen involving 50 patients found that tissue expansion was effective for correcting scars and defects from post-burn and post-war injuries, achieving a 78% satisfaction rate with minimal complications.

This case report describes a 45-year-old man with androgenetic alopecia who developed painful abscesses after monacrylic hair fiber implantation, requiring surgical intervention with tissue expansion and flap repair.

This review discusses advancements in techniques for scalp reconstruction, highlighting improved cosmetic outcomes and reduced morbidity, but reports no new clinical results.

This article discusses tissue-expansion augmented scalp reduction as a surgical option for cicatricial alopecia patients who are otherwise not candidates for traditional hair replacement techniques, but it reports no new clinical results.

This article discusses challenges and limitations of using simple tissue mechanics for repairing head and neck skin defects in trauma and does not report new findings; it highlights potential problems with routine methods.

This study observed that good surgical outcomes for secondary cicatricial alopecia were achieved in 18 patients, with method selection influenced by the size, location, and shape of alopecia.

Tissue expansion is a useful method for reconstructive surgery with good results and room for further enhancement.

This article discusses scalp tissue expansion as a superior reconstructive option for large defects over traditional skin grafts and flap methods, but reports no new clinical outcomes.

A woman got severe scalp burns from a salon's improper hair bleaching treatment.

This article reviews the management of head and neck burns across different phases but presents no new clinical results.

This article proposes two new categories of cicatricial alopecia—“unstable” and “stable”—and suggests surgical excision as preferred over hair transplantation, especially for unstable cases.

This retrospective study found that a hairline-lowering technique effectively advanced the female hairline by an average of 2.1 cm with high patient satisfaction and minimal complications over 20 years.

This review discusses scalp reduction surgery for male-pattern baldness, highlighting its effectiveness in reducing bald areas when hair transplantation alone is not sufficient, without increasing total hair volume.

The book is a detailed guide on hair restoration, useful for both new and experienced surgeons.

Various surgical methods for hair restoration, like scalp reconstruction and tissue expansion, have been developed, but follicular unit transplant remains the most common procedure for correcting pattern baldness.

This review discusses various surgical methods for treating baldness and reports no new results, focusing instead on the evolution and current roles of these techniques.

In this study, both hair transplantation and skin expansion were found effective for treating cicatricial alopecia, with transplantation being preferable for adults with smaller areas and skin expansion suited to younger patients with larger areas.

This article provides an overview of hair restoration surgery options and applications for cosmetic and reconstructive hair deformity treatment and reports no clinical results.

The document concludes that there are various surgical techniques for hair restoration, their success depends on the surgeon's skill, patient's health, and quality of donor hair, and they can potentially improve the mental well-being of those with hair loss.

In this case study, researchers observed reversible scalp hair loss associated with centrifugal lipodystrophy, potentially linked to altered leptin expression in inflamed adipose tissue.
