Objective:
To evaluate the effectiveness of surgical treatment of post-burn defects of face and cranial vault.
Material And Methods:
There were 65 patients with post-burn defects of face and cranial vault. Mean age of patients was 38.5 years (min 17 years, max 67 years). Soft tissue reconstruction was performed by using of local tissues, combined plasty, balloon dermotension aand free flaps on microvascular anastomoses. Osteoectomy and sequestrectomy were carried out if it was necessary. Implants were used to eliminate through skull defects.
Results:
Balloon dermotension with expanders and plasty with local tissues ensure skull reconstruction in the vast majority of patients. Through bone defects required reconstruction of the cranial vault with various implants.
Conclusion:
The proposed surgical approach ensures correction of severe functional and cosmetic disorders caused by post-burn skull defects, elimination of bone damage, restoration of normal skin of the face and cranial vault.

The damage results in the death of skin cells, which can lead to a massive loss of fluid. Dehydration, electrolyte imbalance, and renal and circulatory failure follow, which can be fatal. Burn patients are treated with intravenous fluids to offset...

Minor fractures with no bone displacement are treated by immobilizing the fractured bone using a cast or splint. However, in the case of fractures with displaced bones, the broken bones are repositioned before immobilization to ensure successful healing without deformation and loss of function. The realignment of fractured bone ends is performed through a process called reduction. If the...
