Materials and Research Methods for Post-Burn Cicatricial Deformities of the Torso

The work is based on the results of surgical treatment of 206 patients with post–burn defects, cicatricial deformities of the soft tissues of the body, operated on in the department of reconstructive surgery of the multidisciplinary medical center of the Andijan region from 2015 to 2022. Data were collected at initial and follow–up visits, when patients were called to the clinic for follow–up examinations, and examined using POSAS questionnaires. After the operation, the degree of functional recovery and the aesthetic effect were studied. According to the options for plastic surgery of cicatricial deformities, all patients were divided into two groups. The main group included 105 patients who underwent improved plasty options, the comparison group included 101 patients who underwent traditional plasty methods. Clinical studies were carried out in accordance with generally accepted standards, and the comparison group and the main group of patients were completely representative both in terms of the structure and nature of burn defects, and in terms of the main indicators of body homeostasis upon admission to the hospital. This contributed to the maximum reliability of further study results when significant differences were found after the use of improved surgical tactics and new plastic methods.
