title: [Use of low-intensity laser irradiation in the treatment of suppurative wounds].
abstract: The article presents results of treatment of 372 patients with purulent wounds. In 187 patients a helium-cadmium laser was used (main group); in 185 patients (control group) other methods were used. The comparison of terms of cleansing the wounds from pyo-necrotic masses, appearance of granulations, epithelization++ and terms of wound healing and periods of staying at the hospital has shown high efficiency of the helium-cadmium laser for the treatment of purulent wounds. The average period at the hospital was 13.1 days, 66.8% of the patients were discharged after the complete healing of the wounds.
