Gentamicin sponges effectively treat chronic suppuration, a common surgical issue. This method aids healing in 85% of patients, improving surgical outcomes for inflammatory conditions.

Area of Science:

  • Surgical Practice
  • Infectious Diseases
  • Pharmacology

Background:

  • Chronic suppuration presents challenges due to poor circulation and antibiotic resistance.
  • Inflammatory barriers can limit the efficacy of systemic antibiotics in surgical site infections.

Purpose of the Study:

  • To evaluate the effectiveness of gentamicin sponge implantation in managing chronic suppuration.
  • To assess gentamicin sponge as an adjunct to surgical procedures for inflammatory conditions.

Main Methods:

  • Systematic implantation of gentamicin sponge (Garamycin) in 40 patients over two years.
  • Observation of patient outcomes, including recovery rates and need for further interventions.

Main Results:

  • Complete recovery observed in 85% of patients following gentamicin sponge implantation.
  • Successful preparation for skin transplantation in cases of ulcus cruris.
  • Three patients required further incision, and two cases necessitated diabetic foot amputation.

    • Conclusions:

    • Gentamicin sponge is effective in treating local inflammatory processes in surgical practice.
    • This method supplements and enhances the efficiency of surgical procedures for chronic suppuration.
    • Gentamicin sponge offers a viable solution for challenging surgical infections with compromised circulation.
