[Reconstructive plastic operations on the cervix uteri using preserved tissues]

The authors analyze the results of surgical treatment of 57 patients with third-degree ruptures of the uterus and high cervicovaginal fistulae operated on with the use of preserved lyophilized human dura mater. Control group consisted of 56 patients with second and third-degree ruptures of the uterus and cervicovaginal fistulae operated on by routine methods. Use of dura mater as a biologic transplant for plastic repair of the cervix uteri in the above-mentioned patient population improved the efficacy of treatment of this condition: good results were attained in 52 patients, satisfactory in 4, and were poor in only 1 patient.
