[Treatment of soft tissue infections with gentamycin-polymethylmethacrylate bead chains].
Local antibiotic treatment with Septopal chains can also provide early control of soft tissue infections, provided the operative procedure is adequate. Of 80 patients treated this procedure was successful in 73% after the first operation and in 24% after reoperation. During the planning of treatment attention should be paid to the special requirements of this specific therapy; certain septic surgical methods have to be modified. Therefore limited extension of gentamycin diffusion has to be considered, and primary wound healing - if necessary by means of Epigard - should be attempted.
