[Prevention and treatment of suppuration caused by neck trauma]

93 cases of cervical injury are described. 39 patients developed pyonecrotic complications in the course of treatment. These were caused by both increased virulence of the microorganisms and low immunoresistance of the patients. In abscesses and pus absence the inflammatory infiltrate was opened and drained. Powder antiseptic iodopor, antibiotic epocillin, tampon ambikor, etc. were used postoperatively. Bacteriologically, the response was substantial.
