EXPERIMENTAL SUBSTANTIATION OF PREFORMING METHOD OF THE COMPOSITE FLAP FOR EXTENSIVE TRACHEA DEFECTS RECONSTRUCTION
The article presents the results of the pilot study of method of formation of prefabricated skin-fascial-cartilaginous flap on vascular pedicle for reconstruction of extensive defects of cervical trachea. The dynamics of axial skinfacial flap vascularizating properties in relation to the implanted cartilage skeleton, as well as the dynamics of morphological changes in tissue complexes of prefabricated flap on vascular pedicle was investigated. The optimal period of flap transposition in the reconstruction zone is defined.
