A machine learning approach to predict in vivo skin growth.

Scientific reports
Since their invention, tissue expanders, which are designed to trigger additional skin growth, have revolutionised many reconstructive surgeries. Currently, however, the sole quantitative method to assess skin growth requires skin excision. Thus, in ...

Predictive Modeling of Human Skin Deformation and Growth During Tissue Expansion in Postmastectomy Breast Reconstruction.

Journal of biomechanical engineering
Breast reconstruction using tissue expanders is the primary treatment option following mastectomy. Although skin growth in response to chronic supra-physiological stretch is well-established, individual patient factors such as breast shape, volume, s...
