Abstract
This retrospective review identified a high complication rate in pediatric cervicofacial tissue expansion, which is similar to previously published studies. Despite these findings, tissue expansion in pediatric patients should continue to remain a viable reconstructive option, however, proper patient selection; patient education and informed consent involving a discussion of the expected treatment course and risk profile should be undertaken.
