[The primary postponed radical surgical treatment of acute suppurative paraproctitis]

The method of primarily postponed radical surgical treatment of acute purulent paraproctitis consists in puncture of the abscess, introduction of a double-channel drain, and continuous drop irrigation of the cavity for 1-2 days with antiseptic solutions and active aspiration for preoperative management. When the inflammatory process abates, fistulochromography is conducted and a radical operation is carried out on the same day with excision of the inner opening of rectal fistula. The method makes it possible to combine two operations in one stage which are undertaken in one third of patients in routine surgical treatment of acute paraproctitis. The described method shortens the period of treatment to 14-15 days and improves the immediate and long-term results. Eight patients were operated on with a good outcome.
