title: [Vacuum-therapy in treatment of festering wounds].
abstract: Treatment experience in 112 patients with festering wounds confirms, that vacuum-therapy has marked clinical efficacy at medical process organization on account of trophic ulcers and protractedly nonhealing soft tissue defects. In view of festing wound pathogenesis, vacuum therapy allows to change the course of traumatic process in biologically favorable direction. Influence of low-dosed negative pressure on wound surface allows to clear the wound rapidly and to prepare it for autotransplantation. After skin transplantation use of another type of vacuum-therapy (vacuum bandage) is appropriate. It helps to hold the skin graft safely in recipient until "natural" fixation process occurs, to change blood microcirculation in wound tissues and possess detoxication effect. Thus vacuum therapy allows to get clinically notable effect in the form of complete wound repair in 85.4% of patients with festering wounds.
