  • Title: [Secondary surgical debridement in the treatment of infectious purulent complications of gunshot wounds].
    Author: Nechaev EA, Revskoĭ AK.
    Journal: Khirurgiia (Mosk); 1994 Mar; (3):3-7. PubMed ID: 8007610.
    Abstract:
    Perfection of firearms led to injuries of a more severe character and, consequently, to increased frequency of wound infections and to their poorer clinical course. In view of which the role of secondary surgical debridement for the removal of the suppuration substrate increases as the most effective method for the treatment of infection-purulent complications of gunshot wounds. However, to gain good results in this case the principles of surgical debridement of gunshot wounds must be strictly followed. Only with adequately accomplished secondary surgical debridement will the other additional surgical and therapeutic measures produce a good effect on the purulent wound and on the organism of the injured person.
