[Elimination of anatomical and esthetic lesions in patients with rough infected defects of tissue].
The reconstructive plastic operations were made in 217 patients with infected tissue defects with continuous regional infusions or with a simultaneous sanitizing operation, or within 7-15 days. Skin plasty, catheterization of the main artery (210), secondary surgical treatment and sequest-necrectomy (185), osteosynthesis (106), bone plasty (69) and others (1118 operations in all) were carried on in all the patients, i.e. 5.1 operations per each patient with artery catheterization taken into account. The method of plastic replacement was chosen individually depending on localization, depth and spread of the defect. Good and satisfactory results were obtained in all the patients with no esthetic impairments.
