[Plastic repair of wound defects using skin-muscle flaps]

The work describes the application of 4 kinds of skin-muscle flaps in 22 patients with wound defects of various localizations. In 13 patients the flap was cut out in immediate proximity to the wound, in 9 patients free skin-muscle transplants with micro-vascular anastomoses were used. Quite satisfactory results obtained demonstrate good prospects for the new method of plasty of wound defects.
