In a half of clinical studies vacuum therapy was implemented whereas other patients used modern wound dressings (comparison group). The influence of negative pressure on the process of wound retraction was estimated based on the results of computer photoplanimetric studies. It is shown that vacuum therapy forms favorable conditions for the retraction of wound defects significantly exceeding the corresponding indicators of wound area reduction in patients from the group of comparison.детиожогивакуумная терапияchildrenburnsvacuum therapy[Будкевич Л.И., Сошкина В.В., Астамирова Т.С.
