[The planning of local plastic operations after the radiation therapy of malignant tumors of the head taking into account the blood microcirculation of the skin].

The microcirculation changes were detected in tissues within and beyond the irradiated area. The changes were marked to a different degree depending on the ionizing irradiation dose and the time since its termination. The microcirculatory changes were less pronounced in the major cerebral vessels' body. The data suggest that microcirculation could provide an objective test in planning the local plastic surgery in the zones of irradiated skin malignant tumors in maxillofacial and haired regions of the head.
