[The microsurgical tissue autotransplantation as a way of local radiation skin injuries' treatment].

The experience of 127 microsurgical autotransplantations of skin-muscular flaps in 93 patients with severe radiation skin injuries was analyzed. As free revascularized flaps the greater omentum, the skin-muscular thoracodorsal flap, the scapular, the radial flap, including flaps with a part of the radial bone, the deltoideus, the rotated skin-muscular flap of the abdominal rectus muscle, the scapular and/or serratus anterior fascia were used. The transplants' acception was registered in all cases. 31 patients demonstrated the development of late radiation ulcers during the long term follow up period, requiring further dissection and replantation.
