Where this comes from

Abstract

Preexpansion scoring releases the inflexible galea, permitting more rapid expansion of the scalp. In addition, when comparing this procedure with conventional scalp expansion, patients reported less pain when the galea was incised prior to insertion of the tissue expanders.
