Abstract

For the last 10 years 5531 patients were operated on in clinic for purulent inflammatory diseases of soft tissues and bones, 1609 of them being treated by the routine open method with the drainage of purulent cavity and gauze tampons, rubber tubes and wicks (turundae) and 3922 patients being operated on with the use of drainage bathing system (DBS) and primary sutures of the wound. The use of an active, closed surgical method of treatment, including thoroughly done intraoperative necrectomy, the application of DBS of through, opposite or T-shaped construction as well as postoperative dropping or flowing fractional bathing of residual cavity by antiseptic solutions reduced the terms of treatment 2-3 times, comparing to the standard (open) method with good functional and cosmetic results.
