[Bougies for retrograde stretching of esophageal strictures]. / Buzhi dlia retrogradnogo rastiazheniia rubtsovykh struktur pishchedvoda.

The article deals with bougies (developed by its authors) of various types and sizes designed for gullet bougienage after chemical burns. The suggested bougies ensure less trauma to the esophagus walls during the bougienage procedure, which, in its turn, essentially cuts the time of recanalization and, according to authors' data, prevents ruptures in the internal tissues.

Rational method of surgery for lower extremities varicosis are developed. Method consists of Babkok's extirpation of greater and minor (if it is necessary) saphenous veins with spiral device; preliminary transcutaneous-supracutaneous temporary caprone ligation of changed superficial veins, subcutaneous dissection of ligated veins with minimal blood loss. Original flexible spiral saphenoextractor, inflatable hemostatic device, phlebotoms of simple construction are used. These devices permit to simplify surgery, to decrease tissues trauma and to achieve good cosmetic effect. Recurrence over 1-8 years was seen in 145 operated patients.

Treatment of extensive tissue defects should be complex, whose basis is an early free skin plastic repair with obligatory addition of agents that enhance the reparative capacities of tissues. For this, the authors propose a number of original appliances (forceps, variants of dermoperforators, bandage, etc.) and drugs, such as ximedon (tablets, 5-10% aqueous solution, lanolin-vaseline-based ointment, talc-based powder), whose clinical trials in 300 patients have shown their high therapeutical effect. The time of preparation of the wound surface for dermatoplastic interventions became shorter and the frequency of poor outcomes of operations reduced.
