Novel ways of vacuum therapy application in burn injury medicine

Abstract

Aim. To develop and improve new ways of surgical treatment for deep burn injuries and their consequences with use of vacuum therapy and cell technologies.Material and Methods. In the present article clinical examples of vacuum therapy application for two groups of patients are given. In the first group there were patients with total deep burn injuries of the body, the second group included patients with multiple scarry deformations of hands. In both groups during surgical treatment patients underwent autodermoplasty of wound defects with the subsequent imposing of vacuum dressings, in the first group the cell cultures of the frozen dermal allofibroblasts were also used.Results. We achieved sufficient clinical outcomes in both groups.Conclusion. Vacuum therapy creates optimal conditions for engraftment of autodermotransplantats and reduces terms of wound preparation for autoplasty.
