title: [Local oxygen therapy combined with ultraviolet irradiation of the suppurative wounds in lactation mastitis].
abstract: A method of local oxygenation of wounds of the mammary glands in combination with UV irradiation with the help of the device proposed by the authors was used in the complex treatment of 72 patients with purulent lactation mastitis. The curative effect resulted from a considerable elevation of oxygen saturation of the mammary gland tissues which reduced tissue hypoxia, better microcirculation which results in the accelerated process of regeneration of the wounds. UV irradiation exerts bactericidal effect on microflora of the wounds.
