[Clinical and experimental aspects of the treatment effect of laser irradiation].

The article summarizes literature data and results of the authors' studies on clinical experimental aspects of the treatment effect of laser emission. The literature shows that among different therapeutic effects of laser emission, the most studied are neurotropic, methabolic, immunomodulating, antioxidant, anti-inflammatory as well as its ability to stimulate the regeneration of wounds and bones. The authors stressed on biostimulative effect of laser therapy.

[Use of several microvascular flaps in replacement of extensive suppurative-necrotic defects of the supporting surface of the foot: transplantation of a double shin-foot flap].

The scheme of conduction of the microvascular transplantation using double flap of shin and foot combined with musculus serratus anterior is adduced. The double combination consists of the transplant of medial shin surface and medial plantar fragment. The advantages of the proposed method (availability of thin hypodermic base, own sensitive nerve, united blood supply system, and also long vascular pedicle, resistance for the exercise load, possibility of linking up of the third complex, and, perhaps, minimal harm done to donor region) contrary to the transplantation of a piece transplant having large dimensions permit to apply more effectively the double flap for the supporting points of foot substitution.
