[Automatic programmed aspiration and irrigation treatment of abscesses and phlegmons of soft tissues]

The article presents results of treatment of 111 patients with abscesses and phlegmons of soft tissues. In 46 patients (the investigation group) the minimal accesses (1.5 cm) to the abscess were used with drainage of purulent cavities with bilumenal silicon drains TMMK and performing the automatic programmed aspiration-irrigation treatment. In 65 patients (control group) treatment of suppurative processes was effected by an open tampon method. Advantages of the closed method of treatment over the traditional means are shown.
