[Intravascular laser irradiation of the blood in treating suppurative-necrotic processes of the maxillofacial area].

The results of investigations evidence a high efficacy of intravascular laser irradiation of the blood in the treatment of maxillofacial pyonecrotic processes. Such treatment is conducive to improvement of the immunologic reactivity, microcirculation, and regeneration. The method is simple, that recommends it for outpatient practice.

Primary reconstructive surgical treatment of patients with cancer of the mucous membrane of the floor of the oral cavity.

A new method of primarily reconstructive surgical treatment of patients with cancer of the mucous membrane of the floor of the oral cavity is described. By means of this method it is possible to preserve the natural ways of breathing and nutrition from the early postoperative period without neglecting the principles of radical treatment and considerably to reduce the number of postoperative complications. The proposed method of operation does not lead to disfigurement of the lower portions of the mandibulofacial region.

[Primary reconstructive operations in cancer of the mouth mucosa and oropharynx].

An analysis of primary reconstructive surgical treatment of 254 patients with carcinoma of the mouth mucosa and oral pharynx was made. The character of operative procedures for different localizations of the tumour is described. The primary reconstructive surgical treatment was shown to reduce the amount of postoperative complications to 11.

[Plastic surgery of postoperative defects in patients with tumors of the maxillofacial area].

Defects resulting from surgical treatment for maxillo-facial tumors of various origin were studied. Procedures for reconstruction versus site are discussed and immediate results are presented. Reconstruction should be performed in early postoperative period to assure normal food passage.
