METHODS TO INCREASE THE EFFICIENCY OF SURGICAL TREATMENT OF PURULENT WOUNDS AND PURULENT-INFLAMMATORY FOCI

Ponomarev Anton Yurievich

The article is devoted to the study of methods that increase the efficiency of surgical treatment of purulent wounds and purulent-inflammatory foci. The author substantiates the relevance and significance of the research topic. A brief terminological description of purulent infections is given, the factors and conditions for their development are specified. It is noted that the treatment of purulent wounds determines the solution of two interrelated tasks – the suppression of the microbial pathogen and the creation of favorable conditions for the healing of a wound defect – which, among other things, involves the selection of functional methods and techniques. Methodological substantiation of the treatment program for patients with purulent-inflammatory diseases, according to the author, requires the use of differential and combined methods along with traditional ones. Three alternatives are considered (the method of air-plasma flows, NO-therapy and ozone therapy), which increase the effectiveness of surgical treatment of purulent wounds and purulent-inflammatory foci in patients. Particular attention is paid to the possibility of their synthesis.
