EXPERIENCE IN THE USE OF MODERN DRESSING EQUIPMENT IN THE TREATMENT OF PATIENTS WITH AN ABSCESSING PILONIDAL CYST, COMPLICATED BY CONCOMITANT DISEASES

Rationale: According to recent studies, purulent complications of postoperative wounds are found quite widely in surgical practice.Objective: to establish the effectiveness of an integrated approach to the treatment of purulent wounds.Methods: the most popular dressings were investigated in the treatment of purulent cavities in patients with suppurative coccygeal cyst.The studied patients in the experimental groups had various comorbidities, such as diabetes mellitus, obliterating atherosclerosis of the lower extremities. Experimental dressings include a dressing agent with antimicrobial properties (with chlorhexidine digluconate), Hydrotül, Activetex HF.Results: In the postoperative period, it is necessary to use broad-spectrum antibacterial drugs. However, in addition to the primary methods it is necessary to apply additional methods of treatment. In particular, we are talking about the use of modern dressings, as well as methods of physical impact on the wound. Among the important additional methods of treatment is physiotherapy, which has a positive effect on the vascularization of soft tissues, thereby enhancing nutrition and epithelialization of the wound. The doctor is faced with the difficult task of determining the most appropriate material for a particular patient among a wide range of dressing materials on the medical market.Conclusion: In patients with an established diagnosis of “abscess pilonidal cyst” who do not have associated diseases, it is most effective to apply a Hydrotül ointment during dressings; in patients with a concomitant diagnosis of atherosclerosis obliterans, the dressing agent with antimicrobial properties (with chlorhexidine digluconate) has the greatest effect; in patients with diabetes mellitus type II - Activetex HF.
