[Method of suturing of the soft tissues wound].
Method of the wound suturing, guaranteeing the plain distribution of pressure toward the soft tissues displaced and maximal usage of their elastic properties, was proposed. II-figure sutures were placed on the both edges of the wound, from the beginning--on the flaps base, then--on the middle and at last--on the edges. On the wound there were placed interrupted, continuous and other cosmetic kinds of sutures, permitting to distribute the load while approximating the wound edges along all the flaps surface, to eliminate the tension from the proper cutaneous suture for creating favorable conditions for the cosmetic cicatrix formation. The method was applied in 15 patients with vast defect of soft tissues in maxillofacial region. There were closed the irregular form defects owing from 10 to 50 cm2.
