Repair of Orbital Post-Traumatic Wall Defects by Custom-Made TiNi Mesh Endografts.

Repairs of orbital post-traumatic and extensive malignant defects remain a major surgical challenge, in view of follow-up outcomes. Incorrect surgical management of injured facial structures results in cosmetic, ophthalmic, and social aftereffects. A custom-made knitted TiNi-based mesh (KTNM) endograft was employed to overcome post-surgical complications and post-resected lesions of the orbital area.

[Combined treatment in malignant tumors of the head and neck with reconstructive-plastic surgery].

The article is devoted to conservative and reconstructive-plastic surgical interventions using biocompatible implants accompanied by various types of radiotherapy and modern anticancer drugs that have allowed improving basic survival with maintaining a high level of quality of life. Our method of combined treatment for larynx, hypopharynx, oral cavity and oropharynx cancer of stage II-III by chemoradotherapy shows high immediate effectiveness and allows achieving statistically significant increase of overall and disease-free survival in the remote period of observation. The use of NiTi implants provides reliable recovery of deleted structures, pressurization of the cranial cavity, reduces the duration of surgery, shortens the time of wound healing.

Experimental substantiation of allogenic tendon tissue transplantation.

Substantiation of transplantation of tendon allografts treated with a new solution showing both sterilizing and preservatory effects was provided in experiments on 84 dogs. The solution prepared on the basis of 0.1% formaldehyde with the addition of dimethyl sulphoxide, monomycin and prednisolone (FDMP) shows a high antimicrobial activity, preserves the structure of the tendons and their elasticity.
