Abstract
Summary. For an objective assessment of the readiness of burn wounds for autodermoplasty, a cytological technique was used, which allowed to improve the healing of skin flaps, the number of surgical interventions and the treatment time of patients were reduced.
 Objective. To improve the results of skin grafting in connection with the use of an objective cytological method for studying the wound process, which allows you to determine the readiness of the wound bed for autodermoplasty.
 Materials and methods. In 2019, 29 victims of the main group with deep burns, the cytological method of studying wound prints was used, the comparison group consisted of 32 patients with burns of the same depth and area in which indications for autodermoplasty were determined based on visual criteria.
 The results of the study and their discussion. The goal of local preoperative treatment was to achieve an inflammatory-regenerative type of cytograms with a significant decrease in leukocytes, degenerative-destructive forms of neutrophils and the number of bacterial cells. At the same time, the number of polyblasts, macrophages and fibroblasts increased significantly, and there was also a tendency to increase the percentage of lymphocytes. In the main group, autodermoplasty operations were performed only when the indicated type of cytograms was achieved, which allowed to improve the percentage of engraftment of skin flaps, reduce the number of surgical interventions and the treatment time.
 Conclusion. For the prognostic assessment of the readiness of deep burns for skin grafting, the cytological method of wound prints was applied. Determination of regenerative types of wound prints gives rise to autodermoplasty.
