[IMPROVEMENT OF A "DELAY" METHOD WHILE PREPARATION OF FLAPS FOR PLASTIC OPERATION].

The improved method "delay", providing preservation of a small bridge of tissues near the flap tip, which are compressed with ligature or the strip of the glove's rubber during 7 - 12 days, was proposed for prevention of critical ischemia in the flap tissues. It permits to avoid the flap tissues critical ischemia up to the moment of the vascular net and blood flow enhancement while a compelled division of the flap in conditions of the damaged tissues or the cases of the flap area bigger than the area of the nutrient vessels basin. The improved method "delay" was applied successfully while the flaps preparation, formatted on temporary and constant nutritive pedicle, to plastic operation in 7 injured persons, suffering trauma of extremities.
