Короткий опис (реферат):
Since the destructive and illegal full-scale invasion of Ukraine in February 2022, caring for the victims of war trauma has been an
essential function of Ukrainian clinicians [1, 2]. The authors present a case where using novel dynamic digital thermography (DDT),
combined with international telemedicine support, contributed to saving the lower limb of an injured Ukrainian soldier. A male soldier
in his 30s presented with a ‘through and through’ fragmentation wound to the right thigh from an artillery shell exploding nearby.
After initial haemorrhage control and resuscitation, the patient was transferred to a tertiary hospital. Using telemedicine support,
reconstructive surgery was planned and performed successfully using a perforating flap technique. DDT was used pre-operatively to
identify a perforating vessel and post-operatively to ensure perfusion of the flap. The patient made a good recovery and was discharged
14 d post-operatively.
