title: [Soft tissue infections treatable in the doctor's office].
abstract: A good number of infections requiring only minor surgery can be treated in the GP's office, simply and adequately. Of importance, however, is the physician's ability to recognize when a patient needs to be referred to a specialist. Provided the principles listed here are adhered to, treatment is usually successful. All other courses indicate a multifactorial pathology and belong in the hands of an experienced specialist.
