Summary:The article shows that treatment of frostbites in a special medium with controlled temperature and humidity makes the time of treatment shorter and prevents complications characteristic of such a trauma. The main purpose of such exposures of the injured areas is to achieve mummification and to make the operation as early as possible. The mummification of the soft tissues began within 5-8 days after trauma. Chemical necrectomy was possible on the 7th-9th days, followed by autodermoplasty on the 2nd day.
