[Plastic and reconstructive operations in purulent surgery and traumatology]

The authors propose a complex surgical treatment of extensive purulent wounds and tissue defects based on radical debridement of the pyonecrotic focus, primary and early reconstructive operations. New views on operation "debridement of a purulent wound" were formulated: it is considered as an initial element of the reconstructive surgery. 597 patients with extensive purulent wounds and tissue defects underwent plastic and reconstructive operations with good and satisfactory results in 96.6% of the cases.
