International Scientific and Practice Conference "Surgical debridement and biophysical methods of wound and purulo-necrotic focus treatment in children and adults"

Abstract

Surgical debridement is the gold standard in helping patients with purulent foci of any etiology and localization. The outcome and prognosis of treatment, as well as functional and cosmetic results, depend on the radicalism, thoroughness, and accuracy of this operation. Surgical debridement of the purulent focus is performed throughout the entire period of the existence of surgery and its underlying principles undergo minimal changes over time. However, at all specialized congresses and conferences, questions of terminology and nomenclature are always actively discussed in relation to this operation, and additional methods of physical, chemical, and mechanical effects on the wound are constantly being reported with the aim of cleansing and transferring it to the reparative stage. All these aspects require discussion, reflection and regular exchange of experience, in connection with which it was planned to hold this forum (the previous conference was held in May 2014, its materials can be found at: https://woundsurgery.ru/mezhdunarodnaya-nauchno -prakticheskaya-k-6 /).
