[Autodermoplastic closure of defects of donor's zone after taking free revascularized autotransplants]

Problems of autodermoplasty in donor's zone after taking of free revascularized autotransplants for closure of skin defect in 85 patients are regarded. All the transplants were complex. Free autodermoplasty was used in the zone of forearm -- 50 (58.8%) cases, foot - 22 (25.9%), posterior surface of thorax -- 9 (10.6%), and also in the zone of cnemis, lateral surface of femur, deltoid and scapular region -- one (1.2%) case each. In 52 (61.2%) cases free autoskin required for complete closure of defect in donor's zone and in 33 (38.8%) -- for partial closure. Region of taking of free autoskin was anterior-lateral surface of femur in majority of cases - 73 (85.9%). Split-thickness free autoskin was used the most often -- 79 (92.9%) cases. Graft retention was complete or partial in 77 (90.6%) cases, complete necrosis of free autoskin was seen in 8 (9.4%) clinical cases. It is concluded that method of free autodermoplasty is effective for closure of defects including in combination with microsurgical transplantation of tissues.
