[The suppuration of surgical wounds]

An analysis of wound complications in 699 patients after operation has been made. Microbiological examinations of the wound exudate have shown that the content of "seromas" and "hematomas" is infected with aerobic and anaerobic nonsporulating microflora in 80% of the cases. "Seromas" and "hematomas" were proved to be typical cases of suppuration of operative wounds.
