[Radical surgical treatment of patients with complicated forms of acute paraproctitis]

The authors discuss the results of surgical treatment of 412 patients with complicated forms of acute paraproctitis. They found that one-stage radical surgical treatment may be performed in most patients. With strict observance of indications for each type of operative measures, careful surgical techniques, and effective treatment of the purulent operative wound, not only may the period of treatment be shortened but, which is most important, the incidence of postoperative complications may be considerably reduced and the best end results of the management of this most serious group of patients be achieved. But the authors also do not exclude the tactics of two-stage treatment.
