Rapid intraoperative tissue expansion (RITE) has been shown to have definite applicability to reconstruction in the head and neck. However, widespread use of this modality has yet to be adopted by the otolaryngologic community. ⋯ Eight patients were selected and underwent reconstruction using a total of 10 tissue expanders. Herein, we describe our experience with this initial series as well as some background and future applications of RITE.
