The authors describe a successful complex surgical treatment of a patient with chronic postoperative osteomyelitis of the sternum and ribs. It included surgical treatment of a purulent focus, local treatment with negative pressure, and plastic reconstruction of the anterior chest wall with autografts when the wound process transformed into the reparative stage.

Endovascular surgery for grade IV chronic ischemia of lower extremities was associated with good immediate results in most cases due to revascularization and organ-sparing interventions for suppurative lesions of the feet. Current endovascular methods allow to perform successful re-operations to restore blood flow in previously repaired arteries and implanted stents with restenosis or thrombosis.
