[Use of gas-current coagulation in the local treatment of gunshot wounds].

The article is devoted to the using of gas-current coagulation for treatment of gunshot wounds in experiment. A new technology of physical action on biological tissues allows the simultaneous performing of hemostasis, sterilization of the wound surface, dissection and evaporation of the tissue. The isolation of the wound surface from unfavorable aggressive factors of the environment due to the layer of thermal necrosis results in shortening the 1 phase of the wound process and in earlier development of its second phase. Healing proceeds by the type of productive inflammation. The use of the gas-current coagulation during the performing of the primary surgical treatment of gunshot wounds allowed to considerably reduce its time, improve its quality, substantially lessen the amount of infectious complications, considerably improve the indices of the wound process and results of treatment.
