Background. Chronic ulceration of the lower legs is a relatively common condition amongst adults: one that causes pain and social distress and results in considerable healthcare and personal costs. The technique of punch grafting offers an alternative approach to the treatment of ulcers of the lower limbs.Objective. Combining platelet-rich plasma and skin graft enhances the efficacy of treating chronic diabetic wounds by enhancing healing rate and decreasing recurrence rate. Platelet-rich plasma could, by stimulating dermal regeneration, increase the take rate after skin grafting or speed up reepithelialization.Methods and Materials. The ulcer was prepared by removing fibrin with a curette and the edges of the ulcer were freshened. The platelet-rich plasma has been infiltrated on the bottom and edges of the ulcer. The punch grafts were placed in 5 mm holes arranged. The ulcer was medicated with hydrogel and a pressure dressing was removed after 8 days.Results. After a few days the patient did not report more pain. Granulation tissue appeared quickly between implants. Most of the grafts were viable in 2-3 weeks. The grafts gradually came together to close the ulcer and were completed in four months.

Improvement of reparative process of the chronic wounds with the insufficiency of peripheral blood suppling in patients suffering from diabetes mellitus is an important issue requiring further investigation. An optimal choice of surgery, effective renewal of blood supply and active stimulation of tissue repair on the cellular level are essential components of success treatment of this problem.Objective of research: From 2017 to 2020, the efficiency of one of the variants of organ-saving surgery performed on 210 patients with an ischemic-gangrenous form of diabetic foot syndrome was studied.Materials and methods. Control group included 104 patients (49.52%), were the treatment carried out in accordance with the standard scheme. The main group (106 patients - 50.47%) in addition to the standard therapy have used regional ozone therapy, vacuum sanitization and local application of autologous platelet-rich plasma (APRP).Results. These proposed measures reduced the period of clinical treatment to 24±1,2 days in the main group compared to 37±2,4 in the control one. 2 years later, patients of the main group confirmed the formation of a foot stump functionally adapted for walking with angular dislocation of fragments of the cuboid and scaphoid bones.Two years after foot amputation due to the ischemic-gangrenous form of diabetic foot syndrome (DFS), the amount of repeated above knee amputations was 1.8 times higher in the control group in comparison with the main group, which is indicative of a reasonable use of the complex of activate a reparative process in the wound.Conclusions: The suggested modification of the organ-saving and partial foot amputation in patients with IV degree of ischemia and DFS is indicative of a possibility to perform such kind of surgery as a variant of choice.The complex of proposed additional measures including regional ozone therapy, vacuum sanitization and local administration of autologous platelet-rich plasma activates a reparative process of a chronic foot wound and promotes an effective treatment of patients with ischemic-gangrenous form of DFS.

A positive result of treatment of patients suffering from ischemic-gangrenous form ofdiabetic foot syndrome (DFS) becomes possible with an optimal choice of surgery,effective renewal of blood supply and active stimulation of tissue restoration processon the cellular level.Objective – to study efficiency of the suggested organ-saving variant of surgery combinedwith the use of a complex of auxiliary factors of a reparative process activation in thewound including regional ozone therapy, vacuum sanitation and local application ofautologous platelet-rich plasma (PRP).Material and methods. The treatment of 210 patients with ischemic-gangrenous formof diabetic foot syndrome was carried out from 2017 to 2020. The efficiency of one ofthe variants of organ-saving operative intervention was studied. In the control group -104 (49.52%), the treatment was carried out in accordance with the standard scheme.In the main group (106 patients - 50.47%), in addition to the standard scheme, regionalozone therapy, vacuum sanitation and local application of autologous-rich plasma(PRP) were carried out.Results. These measures reduced the period of treatment of patients in the hospital to24 ± 1.2 days in the main group compared to 37 ± 2, 4 in the control one. 2 years later, patients of the main group confirmed the formation of a foot stumpfunctionally adapted for walking with angular dislocation of fragments of the cuboidand scaphoid bones.Conclusions. The suggested modification of the organ-saving and partial foot amputationin patients with IV degree of ischemia and DFS is indicative of a possibility to performsuch kind of surgery as a variant of choice for patients with ischemic-gangrenousform of diabetic foot syndrome. The complex of auxiliary measures (regional ozonetherapy, vacuum sanitation and local administration of autologous platelet-rich plasma(APRP)), activates a reparative process of healing of a chronic foot wound whichenables to make the period of hospital staying for patients shorter – to 24±1,2 days inthe main group as compared to 37±2,4 days in the control one. Clinical observation ofa remote postoperative period (2 years later) confirms a possibility to form a foot stumpfunctionally adapted for walking with angular dislocation of fragments of the cuboidand scaphoid bones, functionally advantageous for supporting load.
