[Significance of anesthesiology and intensive care in the development of reconstructive surgery (as exemplified by the scientific school of the Academician B.V. Petrovskiĭ)].
B. V. Petrovsky, the creator of one of the leading surgical schools, realized, that surgery cannot develop without anesthesiological and resuscitation support. He actively promoted measures which ensured rapid transformation of such branches as anesthesia and postoperative care into independent disciplines. Introduction of neuroleptanalgesia, high-quality artificial ventilation of the lungs, prolonged regional and combined anesthesia, protection of the myocardium and brain, bronchofibroscopy, extracorporeal detoxication, assisted circulation, and computer monitoring allowed the performance of the most sophisticated interventions on the heart, aorta, lungs, esophagus, liver and bile duct, and peripheral vessels. Progress in anesthesiology and reanimatology promoted the development of new trends in reconstructive surgery, such as repair microsurgery, organ transplantation, endovascular and endoscopic surgery.
