Abstract:
402 patients with tumors of the head, neck and gastrointestinal tract as well as of the locomotor system underwent microsurgical autotransplantation of tissues during the treatment and rehabilitation. 483 microsurgical autografts from fascio-cutaneous, muscular and osseous tissues were used as well as from visceral organs (the stomach, omenthum, the bowels). Successful outcomes of plastic and reconstructive operations were obtained in 95% of all the cases. Successful microsurgical plastics favoured timely application of combined antitumor treatment. In 50-60% of oncological patients a complete social and labour rehabilitation was achieved. The method proved to be perspective for further development and implementation in oncology.
