THE RESULTS OF TREATMENT OF DIABETIC FOOT SYNDROME MODERN DRESSINGS
The authors studied the influence of various methods of local wound therapy after surgery regarding purulent-necrotic processes in connection with foot sores resulting from diabetes. Various local treatments including standard treatment using water-soluble antiseptics, modern ointment-based dressings, and vacuum therapy were applied in 3 groups of patients (88 patients). Against the background of basic drug therapy, angioprotector Sulodexide was used in two groups. During the treatment the subjective state of patients in different groups and changes in the cytogram of foot wound were studied. The dynamics of the wound process, the microbial spectrum in the wound, the rate of reduction of the wound defect and the need for repeated surgical treatment were evaluated. Presence of complications was also taken into account. This paper introduces the detailed results of various management regimens for this particular group of patients.
