[Surgical treatment of patients with acute abscessed and phlegmonous lactation mastitis]

Abstract

Under analysis were results of surgical treatment of 256 patients with abscessed and phlegmonous acute lactation mastitis. Radical primary surgical treatment of the purulent cavities allowed prevention of further progression of the inflammation in the mammary gland. The use of the low frequency ultrasound for treatment of the wound allowed to quicker arrest the acute inflammatory process in the tissues of the mammary gland surrounding the purulent cavity. In cases with diffuse purulent acute lactation mastitis it is necessary to take into attention the tension of the suture threads when fulfilling the secondary surgical treatment of the wound and putting in the running secondary early suture.
