Prevention of hypertrophic scars in patients with puropental-inflammatory diseases of soft tissue

Introduction. The formation of pathological scar tissue and contractures in patients operated on for phlegmon of the upper limb often leads to a significant decrease in the quality of life, and sometimes a change in work activity. Finding a solution to this problem is urgent. Purpose of work: to improve the quality of surgical treatment of patients with phlegmon of the upper limb by optimizing treatment tactics to prevent pathological formation of scar tissue.Materials and methods of research. To carry out complex treatment aimed at preventing pathological scar formation in patients with phlegmon of the upper limb (shoulder and forearm), an individual algorithm was developed, depending on the type of acetylation to determine treatment tactics. The study involved 134 patients with deep intermuscular phlegmon of the shoulder and forearm, divided into two groups: the first group included 62 patients, who were treated using known technologies. In group II (72 patients), a developed method for the prevention of hypertrophic scars was used, which significantly improved the results of complex treatment and improved the quality of life.Conclusion. During the study, it was found that the use of an original method of preventing pathological scar formation in the treatment process is pathogenetically justified. It has proven its effectiveness clinicall, good treatment results were obtained in 94,4 %.
