[Significance of endovideosurgery in treatment of surgical infections].

Results of treatment of 186 patients treated in the clinic in the period from 2000 through 2005 for infectious complications after severe combined injuries who underwent 264 operations have been studied. It was established that the endovideosurgical method of sanitation of the infection focus was used in 50% of cases at an average. The investigation of surgical treatment of infectious complications in patients with severe surgical pathology has shown high efficiency of endovideosurgical method for treatment of such complications in the third period of wound dystrophy. The proposed endovideosurgical methods of sanitation of the infection focus have a number of advantages over open ones--low traumatism, less number of postoperative infectious complications, less duration of the postoperative period.
