Resumo: | |||||||||||||
Tissue expansion is a well-known plastic surgery technique,
based on the ability of biologic membranes to increase its
surface area when a deformation is imposed. It is used to
repair a wound area (scars, burns), to remove tattoos, in
breast reconstruction, etc.
This involves inserting a silicon-rubber prosthesis
(expander) in its collapsed state under the subcutaneous
tissue of the patient, closing the incision, and then
inflating the expander slowly with a saline fluid through a
one way valve. The skin expands in the form of a dome in
unison with the balloon underneath it.
The purpose of this work is modelling mathematically
axially symmetric tissue expansion of biologic tissue,
using Theory of Viscoelasticity for Finite Deformations.
