Some methods of plastic surgery for elimination of postoperative skin defects after oncological pathologies

Abstract

Aim. To devise optimal plastic surgery techniques for the eradication of postoperative skin defects following surgeries for tumor pathologies.

Material and methods. he study involved 16 patients (100%) with skin oncological pathologies, of which 7 (43.7%) had benign skin tumors and 9 (56.3%) had malignant skin tumors. Diagnostic confirmation was achieved through cytological examination (using Romanowsky-Giemsa stain under an OLYMPUS CX 21 light microscope at 10-40x magnification) and histological examination (using hematoxylin and eosin stain under an OLYMPUS CX 21 light microscope at 10-40x magnification).

Results. The study observed that all 16 patients presented with tumors varying in size from round to polygonal and irregular shapes, each requiring unique surgical solutions for removal and restoration of the skin surface to its previous state. Based on these findings, we developed various incision techniques surrounding the tumors for their removal, coupled with inconspicuous plastic surgery procedures to address postoperative defects. These techniques resolve the complexity and unresolved issues associated with such defects, potentially reducing significant health risks.

Conclusion. The plastic surgery techniques developed for the eradication of postoperative skin defects in cases of oncological pathologies showed excellent outcomes in 90-95% of cases. This efficacy supports their application in managing complex and large tumor-related skin lesions.
