The article discusses the diagnostic method of acoustic anisotropy in patients with purulent-inflammatory and elective surgical wounds of the maxillofacial region. Pathological processes occurring in the face and neck are accompanied by changes both in the skin itself and in the underlying soft tissues. The purulent-inflammatory process in combination with the classical manifestations of an inflammatory reaction directly affects the change in the elastic properties of the skin, which in turn affects the speed of propagation of surface waves during acoustics (V). Cicatricial pathological deformities are severe aesthetic and sometimes functional disorders that disfigure the appearance of a person. The etiological factors of this pathology primarily include trauma, surgical interventions, and the consequences of purulent-inflammatory diseases. Over time, in the context of increasing modernization of modern society, increased injuries also increase. The proportion of maxillofacial wounds ranges from 6-16% of the total number of injured. Among the total number of injuries, from 9 to 28.9% occur in the middle zone of the face and 70-90% in the lower zone of the face [1]. Purulent-inflammatory diseases of the face and neck are one of the most common pathologies with a high frequency of observations and employment of more than 50% of maxillofacial departments [2]. Surgical interventions in the facial area are associated not only with pathological processes, but also with aesthetic improvements in appearance [5]. Taking into account these statistics, an extremely important aspect is the timely provision of specialized care, improvement of existing diagnostic methods and timely treatment of scarring [3]. In recent decades, modern diagnostic methods, including acoustic ones, have been widely introduced into the medical practice of maxillofacial surgery and dentistry [3,4,6]. In acousticometry, the rate of propagation of shear disturbances is determined by the structural organization of the supramolecular level, which changes with the development of pathological processes at the stages of treatment of the patient. Early start of examination of patients and postoperative quality management of patients will improve the results of surgical treatment of patients, reduce a number of complications and accelerate the rehabilitation period. Based on the above, the acoustic diagnostic method is timely and relevant in the prevention and treatment of postoperative scars in patients with purulent-inflammatory and clean surgical wounds of the face and neck [7,8].
