[Complex surgical treatment of patients with necrotic soft tissue infections].

Objective: To develop an optimal algorithm for complex treatment of patients with necrotic soft tissue infections (NSTI).

Material And Methods: The study included 114 patients with NSTI who were treated between 2016 and 2021. We analyzed treatment outcomes in 2 groups: retrospective (=43) with traditional approaches to purulent surgery (drainage of necrotic foci, local therapy with iodophores and water-soluble ointments, antibacterial and detoxification therapy, delayed skin grafting) and prospective (=71) with active surgical treatment and modern algorithm based on a differentiated approach and high-tech methods (vacuum therapy, hydrosurgical treatment of wounds, early skin grafting and extracorporeal hemocorrection).

[Using a compression method after surgical treatment of hemorrhoids].

A compression method was used as a final stage of surgical treatment of hemorrhoids which was performed with a specially worked out compressing probe (two latex cuffs were mounted on the three-lumen rubber tube). The internal and external hemorrhoids were compressed after introduction of the probe into the anal canal and blowing up the cuffs. Comparative results of 103 operations are shown: in 67 patients the operation was finished with the introduction of an ointment tampon, in 36--with a compressing probe.
