[New aspects in the biological preparation of tissues for plastic repair using V.P. Filatov's pedicle flap]

In the paper, the author's experience and literature data on studies of the role of biological processes developing in the host wound and grafted tissues in formation of the pedicled graft are reported. Considering these processes in the modern aspect in due account of general state of the organism, the status of local tissues, causes conditioning the defects formation and other factors, the author suggests new grounds for his concepts concerning the rational of active biological preparation of tissues in creating the pedicled graft. The technic of the preparation in question and results of its successful utilization in 25 patients are described, the conditions for wound and tissue healing being unfavourable due to different reasons, and in case of need of large quantities of plastic material the former also may be used.
