METHOD FOR FIXING FREE AND TRANSFERRED TRANSPLANTS TO SUBJACENT TISSUES IN PLASTIC SURGERY ON ORBITAL AND PARA-ORBITAL REGIONS Russian patent published in 2005 - IPC

FIELD: medicine.

SUBSTANCE: method involves treating skin defect zone with 0.15-0.35% water photosensitizer solution or photosensitizing gel on hyaluronic acid viscoelastic base selected from a group containing chealon, viscoate, or hyatulon containing 0.1-0.2% of chlorine row photosensitizer selected from a group containing photolon, radachlorine or photoditazine. Then, free or transferred transposed skin transplant is laid over defect zone and suturing it along the boundary with following draining. 20-40 min long exposure is carried out away from light action. Transcutaneous scanning laser radiation of covered defect zone is applied at wavelength of 661-666 nm for 3-5 min with total irradiation dose being equal to 30-40 J/cm².

EFFECT: enhanced effectiveness of treatment; improved adjacency and attachment to underlying tissues; excluded secondary distortion of postoperative zone.
