Abstract

The reconstruction of scalp defects remains a significant challenge in plastic surgery. External Tissue Expansion (ETE) has garnered attention for its capacity to regenerate soft tissues, including skin, subcutaneous fat, and breast tissue. As a minimally invasive and cost-effective tissue engineering approach, ETE demonstrates great potential in wound regeneration. Despite promising outcomes, several challenges must be addressed before its routine clinical application can be realized.Basic in vivo and in vitro studies have explored the mechanisms underlying ETE-mediated tissue regeneration. Findings suggest that ETE facilitates cell proliferation and migration, enhances adipogenesis, promotes angiogenesis, and provides a favorable environment for soft tissue growth. Understanding the mechanical and chemical signals involved in ETE-induced tissue regeneration could enable its broader adaptation in clinical practice.This article reviews the clinical applications of ETE, examines preclinical animal models, and evaluates the potential mechanisms by which ETE promotes tissue regeneration, offering insights into its future integration into clinical settings.
