title: [The use of tactivin in the combined treatment and prevention of complications in reconstructive operations on the bones of the facial skeleton].
abstract: Sixty-three patients with congenital and acquired defects and deformations of facial bones without concomitant diseases were examined. Twenty-eight of them were operated on; auto- and alloplasty was resorted to in 18 patients, and to 10 patients tactivin was administered after common protocols for immunocorrection before or after surgery. Immunologic and clinical studies showed that immunodeficiency states are the most probable causes of postoperative complications following repair surgery on the facial bones. Tactivin normalized the immunity parameters and prevented the development of postoperative complications.
