OBJECTIVE

To reconstruct the events of early period of Soviet school of combustiology (1920—1930s) via analysis and systematization of clinical and experimental studies devoted to burns and performed in the Leningrad medical institutes in 1920—1930s.

MATERIAL AND METHODS

We analyzed various reports by employees of the Leningrad medical institutes devoted to practice and theory of burn treatment within the above-mentioned historical period.

RESULTS

Analysis of Soviet and foreign reports for 1920—1930s made it possible to systematize data on the treatment of burns in the Leningrad medical institutes for the period from the mid-1920s to the beginning of the Great Patriotic War. We presented experimental data on local and general processes following burn injuries.

CONCLUSION

We discovered and introduced into scientific circulation some reports of Leningrad scientists on clinical and theoretical aspects of burn injuries which fell out of the field of view of modern researchers for various reasons. These data emphasize diverse work carried out by the staff of surgical and theoretical departments regarding the treatment of burn injuries.
