Modern principles of treatment of purulent wounds of soft tissue (literature review)

Discusses the treatment of purulent wounds in experimental and clinical surgery. Traditional methods of treatment often turn out to be ineffective and there is a need to improve them and develop new methods and means. Today there are many methods to improve the results of treatment of purulent wounds, but none of the methods completely satisfies surgeons and the very fact of the numerous proposed methods indicates their insufficient effectiveness and the lack of a common point of view on this problem. The main thing in the treatment of purulent processes is the timely and wide opening of ulcers and their subsequent rational drainage, which helps reduce the absorption of decay products of microbes and tissues, toxins, limit the process and speedy rejection of necrotic tissue. In the general structure of surgical diseases, surgical infection is observed in 35-45% of patients. This is due to the increasing number of patients with purulent wounds and the difficulty in choosing treatment tactics.
