[Treatment of suppurative bursitis].
In the last decade 323 patients were operated on in the clinic for purulent bursitis; the abscess was opened and the dressing was changed daily. With the traditional method of treatment, the duration of management was 22.9 +/- 3.5 days in each patient. A method is suggested for the treatment of acute purulent bursitis by fraction irrigation of the purulent cavity by means of a drainage-irrigation system based on the puncture techniques. It was applied in 42 patients and shortened the duration of their treatment to 9.3 +/- 2.3 days, i. e. almost by 2.5 times. Moreover, a good functional and cosmetic effect was produced.
