[Role of hyperbaric oxygenation and skin plasty in wound healing after minor amputations in patients with gangrene stage of obliterating endarteritis].

The article analyzes the treatment of 45 patients with a gangrene stage of obliterating endarteritis subjected to small amputations in combination with free skin autoplasty. The amputation and skin plasty were preceded by intensive therapy both before operation and in the postoperative period, HBO included. A method of HBO therapy by changing barometric pressure under conditions of hyperbaric oxygenation is described. The patients were also subjected to sympathectomy and continuous intraarterial infusions.
