title: [Reliability of the sterilization of surgical instruments is a key point in prevention of surgical infection].
abstract: Occurrence of postoperative purulent-inflammative complications (PPIC), their structure and dynamics after improvement of sterilization are studied. For epidemiological analysis 65,246 medical histories of operated patients were studied, in 404 of them PPIC were revealed. The PPIC rate reduced from 3.05% in 1981 to 0.49 in 2000 though surgical activity increased 12 times after this period. Thus developed measures for improvement of sterilization promoted reduction of the PPIC rate.
