[Tissue expansion in management of giant omphalocele parietal sequelae].
Annales de Chirurgie Plastique et Esthétique 2017 April
OBJECTIVE: According to major difficulty for the giant omphalocele management in the visceral reintegration and the parietal closure, many teams use currently conservative treatment by topical application. These techniques are suppliers of a covered eventration and a scar sequela requiring a complementary treatment. We report the place of the tissue expansion as complementary treatment.
PATIENTS AND METHODS: Two patients with a giant omphalocele benefited from a protocol of cutaneous expansion for the correction of their abdominal scar±of their residual eventration.
RESULTS: An eventration closure was possible thanks to this protocol. The skin expansion allowed the complete excision of the abdominal scar and the defect cover. An additional skin graft was necessary in the first case.
CONCLUSION: The cutaneous expansion in the parietal sequela management of the giant omphaloceles seems to be an interesting alternative. This technique should be realized remotely and except any septic context.
