[Autotransplantation of a double-bone-muscle-skin flap in the one-step segmental resection and plastic repair of distal segments of the extremities in cancer patients].

This article describes a biosteodermomuscular flap formation. The flap contains parts of VIII-IXribs, the broadest muscle of the back and a musculus serratus anterior. This method has been successfully used for a one-step segmental resection and microsurgical plastic operations on distal parts of extremities in five patients with malignant tumors of soft tissues.

[Reconstructive-plastic operations using microsurgical techniques in oncology].

With the successful development of combined treatment of malignant tumors, the performance of organ-preserving operations, those with microsurgical techniques among others, is now possible. Ninety-five patients with various localization of the tumors were operated on. Esophagoplasty using a graft from the greater curvature of the stomach with venous shunting, and segmental esophagoplasty with the small intestine were conducted in 63 patients, plastics of the lower limb in 25 patients, and plastics of the organs of the head and neck in 7 patients. Vascular complications were encountered in 11.5%. The grafts healed completely in 93.7%. Preoperative radiotherapy and chemotherapy were the main complicating factors. Microsurgical techniques make it possible to expand the radicalism of the operations and improve the rehabilitation of oncological patients. Clear-cut indications for such operations must be taken properly into account.

[Radical surgery for removing a malignant tumor of the temporal bone with extra- and intracranial involvement].

The paper presents a clinical case of combined therapy for adenocystic carcinoma of the petrous pyramid. The basic stages of treatment were preoperative radiation, tumor block resection, and postoperative radiation therapy. Based on the discussion of data available in the literature and on the case presented, practical guidelines for treatment policy are given. Such basic guidelines are as follows:--a lingering drug-unresponsible inflammatory process may be a manifestation of cancer diseases;--if there are clinical and diagnostic signs of neoformation, biopsy of a tumor (tissue under suspicion) is the basic premedical measure;--treatment policy combines different methods of multimodality treatment, but if there is an epithelial tumor, treatment should be started with radio- and/or chemotherapy.
