THE VALUE OF PARA- AND INTRANEURAL STRUCTURESOF THE EPIGASTRIC NERVE IN THE BLOOD SUPPLY OF THE SKIN(EXPERIMENTAL STUDY)

The article first provides proof of the important role of para- and intraneural structures of the epigastric nerve inthe blood supply of the skin of white rats.Objects of the study were white Wistar rats having the mass of 250-300 g (n=28). The animals were divided into3 groups: animals of the I group (n=11) underwent autotransplantation neural epigastric flap a technique for A. V. Baitingerwith standart size 2.2 cm; the II group animals (n=11) underwent autotransplantation neural epigastric flap a techniquefor A. V. Baitinger to the small size 1,5.1,5 cm; the III group animals (n=6) underwent autotransplantation neuralepigastric flap size 1,5.1,5 cm a technique for A. V. Baitinger with the intersection of the trunk of the epigastric nerve.Clinical assessment of the skin-fascial flap condition early after the surgery (1st-10th days) was performed using followingcriteria: edema, capillary response, manifestation of the flap skin coverings desquamation, presence of the necrosis.Summary: the blood supply of the skin in the epigastric flap participate as a white rat para- and intraneural vesselsof the epigastric nerve; the percentage of survival of neural epigastric flap depends on its area.
