Popis: To improve the results of conservative treatment of patients with afterburn hypertrophic and keloid cicatrices, 245 patients up to 65 years old having afterburn cicatrices of various area and localization have been examined and treated. In 153 patients, cicatrices were treated using traditional medicines (1% hydrocortisone ointment or Kontraktubex gel), while 92 patients were treated by phonophoresis with verapamil ointment. Clinical-morphological investigations have shown that in patients treated by phonophoresis with verapamil ointment the earlier structural maturation of cicatrix, normalization of pain sensitivity, and more complete removal of afterburn contracture were observed.
