Possibilities of using the local negative pressure method in patients with obliterating diseases of the lower extremities after high amputations

Introduction. At the end of the 20th century and especially in the last decade, interest in the use of the local negative pressure (MLNP) method in the treatment of wounds, including surgical wounds of various locations, has increased enormously, and the areas of application with different options for its implementation have expanded. 'The purpose of our study was to conduct a systematic review of the literature to obtain information regarding the effectiveness of the use of (MLNP) in the prevention of complications of surgical wounds after high amputations of the lower extremities at the hip level, considering the chosen strategy and technique for performing surgical interventions, and complications in the postoperative period that worsen the process of subsequent rehabilitation patients.Results. The literary sources of domestic authors and available foreign ones dedicated to the method of treating wounds with negative pressure were analyzed. Despite sufficient experience in the use of this technique, and many areas of surgery in which this method is used, there remains enough unsolved problems, one of them is the use of this method in the prevention of wounds after high amputations of the lower extremities.Conclusion. The conducted analysis of literature data demonstrated that this area of surgery is in demand and requires further research and development of new modern improved surgical ideas for the management of postoperative wounds.
