This requires extensive experience in detailed planning, combining different techniques, and selecting appropriate materials for reconstruction. There have been reports of using a tissue expander, serial resection method, and full-thickness skin grafts for this type of nevus. However, the best way to completely remove a giant congenital nevus is endless. In this article, we would like to present a case of a left hemifacial giant congenital nevus in which we used multiple tissue expansion to fully replace the nevus, along with some of our modification techniques.<\/jats:p>","DOI":"10.1055\/a-2201-8061","type":"journal-article","created":{"date-parts":[[2023,11,1]],"date-time":"2023-11-01T01:08:03Z","timestamp":1698800883000},"page":"290-294","source":"Crossref","is-referenced-by-count":3,"title":["Serial
