Abstract
The article presents a clinical observation of a successful comprehensive treatment of a phlegmon on the foot dorsum in a patient with idiopathic distal polyneuropathy. The authors demonstrate how the purulent process was relieved, then transferred to the wound healing state and to the regeneration state followed by the plastic surgery due to the technique of active surgical treatment of wounds and purulent-necrotic foci developed at the A. V. Vishnevsky Institute of Surgery (Moscow). The described wound has healed with primary intention even under the surgical infection. An important component of the active surgical treatment is local therapy, which is rapidly developing at present and which includes such methods as negative pressure, ultrasonic cavitation, laser technologies and others. However, classic bandaging of purulent wounds does not lose its relevance. Moreover, polyethylene glycol-based ointments, in particular, timed-proven Levomekol®, preserve their high activity and effectiveness both in the first (inflammation) and second (regeneration) stages of the wound healing process, for both eliminating the infection and preparing wounds for further plastic surgery.
