en Reconstruction of Hemi Fascial Scars Using Expanded Transposition Flap of Neck تخصصي Special مقالات اصيل Original Article Background: Neck tissue expansion is a widely accepted method for facial scar reconstruction due to its optimal color and texture match Methods: This retrospective study evaluated outcomes in 42 patients who underwent hemifacial scar reconstruction using tissue expanded transposition flaps from the ipsilateral neck. Results: Patient records were reviewed for demographic data, surgical variables, and complications. The majority (95.2%) had burn-induced scars; a single expander was used in 92.9% of cases, while three patients required two expanders. The mean expansion duration was 115.86 days. Major complications occurred in 9.5% of patients, and minor complications in 14.3%; extrusion and infection were most common Conclusion: Transfer of expanded neck skin as transposition flap, is demonstrated to be a reliable reconstructive technique for complete resurfacing of hemifacial scars with minimal contour deformities and optimal final scar.   Burn Injuries, Facial scar, Tissue expander, Neck 0 0 http://wjps.ir/browse.php?a_code=A-10-452-1&slc_lang=en&sid=1 Kamran As’adi dr.kamran.asadi@gmail.com 100319475328460017633 100319475328460017633 Yes 1.
