[Microcirculatory changes in vascularized autotransplants after liver or kidney wound plasty]
Abstract:
The experimental group consisted of 91 rabbit. Using laser Doppler flowmetry the microcirculation was measured in the gastric sero-muscular flap after its implantation to the kidney or liver wound. The same characteristics were measured in the omental flap after kidney wound plasty. The observation time was from the day of implantation up to 360 days. The study demonstrated, that microcirculation in the gastric flap was equal and even during the whole observation time. The microcirculatory parameters in the omental flap were, on the contrary, uneven, decreasing distally. The studied parameters were higher in gastric flap, then in the omental. Therefore, tissue regeneration was much better with the use of gastric flap plasty in comparison with omentum, various biomaterials and routine organ suturing.
