[Operations by the Bogoraz and Tikhov-Linberg methods as adequate interventions in malignant tumors of the extremities]

The author's conception on adequate operations is set forth. He considers adequate only those operations which are performed radically with abidance by ablastemic rules and consideration of the principle of a sheath structure and location after A. I. Rakov, with maintenance of the function of the operated on limb to a maximum degree. Both resection and amputation may be adequate as well as inadequate. The principle elaborated by N. A. Bogoraz and P. I. Tikhov underlies adequate resections. The author's data on the late-term results (follow-up periods of over 20 years) of resections after Tikhov-Linberg in malignant tumors of the ++brachio-scapular region are presented.
