[Means of preventing suppurative complications following surgery of the liver]

The article analyses the results of antibiotic prevention of postoperative infectious complications and the use of special techniques and operative manipulations in 60 patients with localized affections of the liver. It was found that the most effective method of antibiotic prevention of complications is a purposeful transport of antibiotics in autologous erythrocytic shadows, which are infused intravenously once before the operation and, in extensive resection of the liver, on the second or third postoperative day. With the use of special techniques and operative manipulations in combination with purposeful transport of antibiotics the frequency of infectious complications reduces and the results of treatment in surgery of localized affections of the liver improve.
