  • Title: [Choice of surgical approach in the treatment of patients with deep frost bites].
    Author: Lipatov KV, Kanorskiĭ ID, Farkhat FA.
    Journal: Khirurgiia (Mosk); 2004; (6):42-5. PubMed ID: 15211340.
    Abstract:
    Two main approaches to surgical treatment were studied in 114 patients with deep frost bites of the extremities. First - early necrectomy with subsequent local treatment of wounds and their surgical closure on the final stage. Second - long-term conservative treatment until formation of demarcation line and limitation of necrotic tissues with subsequent surgical treatment including their resection and simultaneous formation of the stump of the extremity. It is demonstrated that active surgical policy has significant advantages over expectant one as evident from reduce time of treatment and less number of postoperative pyonecrotic complications (21,7% vs 78,4%).
