Abstract
In pediatric surgery, purulent inflammation is one of the most common problems, accounting for 50% of all surgical conditions. The most promising area to address this need is local treatment of purulent wounds. Despite numerous studies devoted to surgical treatment of purulent inflammatory diseases of the orofacial region, many postoperative problems remain unresolved: inadequate wound management in the postoperative period may lead to progression of the inflammatory process and the need for repeated operations; secondary hospital infections, lack of bacteriologic control of wound secretions, and inadequate antibiotic therapy also prolong inpatient treatment.
