There exists a variety of exact solutions of the scalar field Einstein equations, allowing for ``phantom regions'' with the negative kinetic field term. These regions can be cut out, their boundaries being sewn together in such a way that neither the scale factor (along with its first two derivatives) nor density or pressure will experience a jump. Such a domain surgery eliminates the ``Big Rip'' scenario, substituting for it the standard inflation.
