Abstract:
The purpose of the study was to compare the effectiveness of various compression techniques with a prolonged-action patch on postoperative scars.
Material And Methods:
The study included 21 patients aged 3.6±1.7 years who had scars after surgery. The patients were divided into two groups: group No 1 (n=11), in which they applied longitudinal patch of prolonged-action Contractubex according to the standard technique; group No 2 (n=10) - transverse imposition of the patch on the postoperative scar (according to the author's method).
Results:
In 20 (95.5%) patients, good compliance was noted. By the 90th day after surgery, the width of the scar in the group No. 1 was significantly larger than in the group No. 2, being 2.5±0.15 and 2.0±0.1 (p<0.05).
Conclusion:
Thus, the effectiveness of the proposed technique of transverse imposition of the patch Contractubex on the postoperative scar after surgical intervention was confirmed by a good cosmetic and functional result of scar formation.

Renal clearance is often associated with the renal glomerular filtration rate (GFR), which represents the rate at which plasma is filtered through the glomeruli in the kidney. When drug reabsorption is minimal and there is no active secretion, renal clearance is closely related to the...
