The thigh is more amenable to successful expansion compared to the lower leg. For the proximal upper extremity, regional expanded transposition flaps from the shoulder and back are used more frequently.
Arneja and Gosain PRS27 also reported that tissue expansion in the pediatric population has one of the highest rates of complications when performed in the lower extremities followed by expanders to the head and neck. They also noted that there may be increased complications with multistage expansion procedures when compared with single stage.
The extremities may be a good location amenable to external expansion. In a recent paper, Chan et al describe the use of an external expansion device for the closure of wounds in 11 patients.

They believe that this is a viable alternative and may carry less risk than internal expanders in extremities in certain circumstances.
Congenital
Tissue expanders are used frequently in the pediatric population. They can be used to treat congenital nevi, conjoined twin separation, craniofacial anomalies, genitourinary reconstruction, as well as other applications.
However, there may be a higher complication rate. Wang et al
39
describe a single surgeon’s case series of pediatric tissue expansion and found that premature expander removal occurs in approximately 10% of cases. Risk factors for premature removal include younger age, use of multiple expanders, and lower extremity placement.
Pre-expansion
Pre-expansion of skin or muscle allows for greater sized flaps or grafts to be harvested in closure of large defects while allowing for less donor site morbidity. The trunk is a common donor site for pre­expanded flaps for distant sites. When a pedicled or free flap is determined as the best option, but possibly too small for the defect, pre-expansion is performed to increase flap dimensions and allow for primary closure of the donor site. The tissue also thins during the expansion flap, which may be desirable at the recipient site.

Expansion increases vascularity of the flap and the area of adjacent random tissue that can be carried with it.

The expander is
carefully placed beneath the vascular pedicle.
Pre-expansion is also used when a large full-thickness graft is needed to cover an entire subunit with skin of good color match. For example, the clavicular region may be expanded to develop a large full-thickness skin graft for a subunit of the face while allowing closure of the donor site. It is important to place a vacuum assisted wound closure device over these full-thickness expanded grafts for best take.
External pre-expansion prior to fat grafting is another application of the principle of pre-expansion.
CONCLUSION AND FUTURE DIRECTIONS
Tissue expanders remain an integral part of the plastic surgery armamentarium. Further development will continue in the realm of external expansion, self-filling expanders, and patient-controlled expansion.
QUESTIONS
1. Which of the following thickens during the expansion process?
a. Dermis b. Epidermis
c. Fat
d. Muscle
2. A 4-year-old girl is undergoing tissue expansion of her back for staged excision of a congenital nevus. Which of the following changes is most likely to be observed in the expanded flap?
a. Increased thickness of adipose tissue b. Increased muscle mass
https://t.me/med1917
c. Increased blood flow
d. Increased dermal thickness
3. A 44-year-old woman is seeking immediate breast reconstruction after bilateral mastectomies. Consequence of prepectoral placement of the tissue expander include which of the following?
a. Increased animation deformity b. Improved implant coverage
c. Improved expansion of the lower pole
d. Increased time to completion of expansion
ANSWERS AND EXPLANATIONS
1. Answer: a.  The dermis thins during the expansion process;
fat and muscle both atrophy as well. However, the epidermis thickens.
2. Answer: c.  During the expansion process, there is atrophy or thinning of adipose tissue, muscle, and dermal thickness. However, there is increased blood flow to the expanded flap due to the increased expression of VEGF. An expanded flap will behave similarly to a delayed flap physiologically.
3. Answer: c.  Prepectoral tissue expander placement has been associated with improved lower pole expansion, decreased animation deformity, and decreased time to completion of expansion due to less pain during the expansion process. However, in situations where skin flaps may provide poor implant coverage due to poor vascularity or thin flaps, a submuscular approach may provide a more reliable outcome.

CHAPTER 11 Principles of Local and Regional
Anesthesia and Procedural Sedation
Matthew D. Treiser and Miguel Medina
KEY POINTS
Many procedures in plastic surgery can be performed safely under local anesthesia, regional anesthesia, or conscious sedation.
An understanding of the potency, toxicity, duration of action, as well as treatments for toxicities is essential to the safe administration of local anesthetics.
Regional blockade provides for the completion of surgical procedures, minimizing the need for anesthesia.
Procedural sedation represents an essential tool for plastic surgeons and can provide effective anesthesia to perform surgical procedures in offices and ambulatory care centers.
LOCAL ANESTHESIA
Local anesthesia uses the topical administration or injection of pharmacologic agents into the subcutaneous tissues or within the immediate vicinity of nerves to provide pain relief and comfort. The use of these agents in plastic and reconstructive surgery ranges from completion of surgical procedures to diagnostic maneuvers for nerve pathology and to providing temporary analgesia. The use of these anesthetics has multiple benefits to both the patient and practitioner. Local anesthetics used in conjunction with general anesthesia may result in better postoperative pain control, increasing patient comfort and decreasing postoperative use of narcotics.1 Additionally, these agents represent the backbone of regional anesthesia and peripheral nerve blocks that often allow the completion of complex surgical procedures in the absence of general anesthesia. This eliminates the need for endotracheal intubation and the associated risks including but not limited to aspiration and postoperative nausea and vomiting (PONV). Procedures may be performed in an office­based setting, diminishing the need for traditional operating rooms. Contemporary trends in plastic surgery demonstrate increased use of such anesthetic options as 82% of cosmetic plastic surgery occurs in the outpatient office setting, which are dependent on local anesthetics.2 With the expanding use of local anesthesia in plastic and reconstructive surgery, practitioners must familiarize themselves with the techniques and risks.
The successful use of local anesthetic drugs requires an understanding of the pharmacokinetics including onset of action, duration of action, toxicities, risk factors, and allergenicity. This understanding is essential to ensure patient safety and the delivery of appropriate anesthesia for patient comfort to maximize outcomes.
Mechanism of Action
https://t.me/med1917
Local anesthetics primarily function via the binding of the intracellular portion of sodium channels inhibiting depolarization.3 The agents passively diffuse into the cell and prohibit sodium ion transfer, resulting in blocked threshold potentiation and subsequent signal transduction. In the absence of depolarization, the cell is unable to propagate electrical signals, resulting in blocked neuronal transmission. However, while sodium channel inhibition represents the primary mechanism, local anesthetics may also bind and/or inhibit potassium channels, calcium channels, the activation of membrane-associated protein kinases, and even mitochondrial metabolism.4 The complex interactions between individual agents and multiple signal transduction pathways result in differing toxicities that may affect multiple organ systems.
Pharmacokinetics
The effectiveness of local anesthetics is dependent on the rate of local absorption once injected, whereas the toxicity is dependent on the rate of systemic absorption. Once injected, concentrations of local anesthetics are first achieved within the injection site as the agents work based on diffusion. Therefore, local tissue will be affected before systemic effects are noted. Over time, the local anesthetics will diffuse until they enter the blood stream and plasma concentrations of the agents are achieved. The rate of systemic absorption is dependent on vascular blood supply of the infiltrated area, the volume/mass of drug deposited, and the lipophilicity versus hydrophilicity of the individual agents. The more lipophilic the drug, the more potent it is because it is better able to traverse the cell membrane to reach the intracellular targets.
Local anesthetics are divided into two classes: amino amides and amino esters. Amino amides include agents such as lidocaine, bupivacaine, prilocaine, levobupivacaine, and ropivacaine. These agents are highly bound to a1-acid glycoprotein within the plasma. They
contain an amide linkage within the backbone and undergo metabolism enzymatically by cytochrome P450 within the liver. The amino esters include cocaine, benzocaine, procaine, tetracaine, and chloroprocaine. These agents have little to no binding of α1-acid
glycoprotein within the plasma and undergo hydrolysis via plasma cholinesterases, rapidly resulting in water-soluble metabolites that are excreted via the renal system.4 Adipose tissue and skeletal muscle often serve as reservoirs of these drugs. Patients with reduced skeletal muscle mass and adiposity may achieve higher concentrations of plasma drug levels for a given dose.
The metabolically active form of local anesthetics occurs when the molecule is in its nonionic form.5 Acidic environments with low pH increase ionization, resulting in greater distributions of ionized molecules that are unable to pass the cell membrane and bind intracellular targets. Acidic tissues such as those suffering from inflammation or infection will shift ionic equilibrium toward ionized forms, deactivating the local anesthetic and reducing effectiveness. Coinjection of basic solutions such as sodium bicarbonate may help increase pH, shifting dissociation curves toward the nonionized form, helping to overcome tissue acidity.
Duration of Action
The duration of action of local anesthetics can range from 15 to 240 minutes (Table 11.1). This duration depends on the rate at which the drug is transported to intravascular space where it can be cleared either enzymatically or via hydrolysis. Vasodilators such as calcium channel blockers and alpha antagonists will increase plasma distribution, resulting in increased metabolism and clearance and decreased durations of action.
