The aim of the work: to study the application of Doppler flowmetry as a diagnostic method for assessing the combined method of prevention of pathological scar formation in the face of the skin.
Materials and Methods. 25 patients were examined, which were subsequently divided into 2 groups. The comparison group (n = 10) included patients in whom wound healing was the primary tension and no prophylactic procedures were performed. The main group (n = 15) included patients in whom wound healing was the primary tension and a combination of shock waves sessions and Strataderm silicone gel application was used.
Results and Discussion. In the control Doppler of postoperative scarring, in patients referring to the comparison group, isolated blood circulatory loci around the scar were visualized, signs of edema or inflammatory infiltration were not detected.
At controlled Doppler flowmetry of postoperative scarring in patients of the main group, expressed blood supply locus of varying intensity with the presence of nutritional vascular structures throughout the area of the examined area.
