The urgency of the problem of surgical correction of post-burn cicatricial deformations of the neck and anterior surface of the chest is determined not only by the high frequency of their occurrence but also by certain difficulties in choosing the optimal method for their elimination. The review of the literature presents an assessment of the advantages and disadvantages of the main methods of surgical treatment for eliminating the consequences of burns of the neck and anterior surface of the chest. The analysis of the literature shows that the lack of a clear and unified approach in the choice of the surgical treatment method for post-burn cicatricial deformities of the neck and chest leaves new horizons for active research and creative research with the purpose of developing effective methods of surgical treatment of this pathology. To date, in the arsenal of plastic surgeons, there are various ways of surgical intervention: plastic local tissues, expander dermotension, as well as plastic flaps on the pedicle or free microsurgical autotransplantation of tissues.

Keywords: Neck burns, burns of the anterior surface of the chest, post-burn cicatricial deformation and contracture, expander dermotension, locally plastic surgery, auto transplantation of tissues.
