The main activities of the department
Reconstruction of the facial skeleton
Development and advancement of organ-preserving and functionally sparing treatment methods for patients with tumor pathology of the head and neck organs, endocrine system, nervous system and base of the skull. Development and optimization of methods of combined and complex treatment of locally advanced malignant tumors of the head and neck organs. Treatment of patients with tumor pathology of the head and neck organs, cranio-maxillofacial tumors, and the endocrine system using microsurgical tissue autotransplantation. Reconstruction of the facial skeleton using autotunesand allogeneic materials, composite biocompatible materials, bioengineering of the head and neck organs. Introduction of physical treatment methods for cancer patients, including: endoscopic interventions in the treatment of early forms of laryngeal cancer, photodynamic therapy of early forms of tumors of various localizations and intraoperative photodynamic therapy, as well as low-intensity laser radiation and NO plasma in oncosurgery.
Using new technologies
Development and use of high-precision biomedical technologies in the clinic: treatment of patients with radiation damage using microsurgical tissue autotransplantation and implantation of cell culture equivalents.
Development and implementation of optimal schemes and combinations of antitumor therapy: intraoperative irradiation, regional and systemic polychemotherapy, compatible with methods of reconstructive plastic surgery.
Development of bioengineering technologies and artificial organs. Improvement of diagnostic methods, planning of the resection and reconstructive plastic stage of surgical treatment of cancer patients using CT and stereolithography data.
