Pressurised fluid is gradually injected into the tissue expander to enlarge the urinary bladder to the desired size. During the first procedure, the fluid is injected in an amount from 15 to 30 ml. The expander is kept in place for a period of 3 to 5 hours. The fluid and expander are removed. The procedure is repeated on the following day. The fluid volume injected exceeds that of the first procedure by 1 ml. The procedures are repeated until the injected fluid amount reaches from 50 to 70 ml.
