Endovideo-assisted sanitation of postinjection purulent foci in gluteal soft tissues: Comparative aspects

The paper presents the results of treatment in 124 patients with pyoinflammatory postinjection diseases of the gluteal region. All the patients were divided into 3 groups. In the study group, endovideo-assisted purulent focus sanitation was carried out in 35 (28.23%) patients. In control groups, traditional surgical techniques, such as incision, necrectomy, wound closure with primary suture via drainage, were used in 46 (37/1%) patients or delayed primary suture on postoperative days 3-5 in 43 (34.67%) patients. The study proved it possible to use endovideo-assisted techniques for the adequate purulent focus sanitation and drainage in gluteal soft tissues; there was a reduction in the number of complications from 10.89 to 2.86% and from 36.84 to 4.0% in the early and later postoperative periods, respectively (p < 0.05) and a good cosmetic effect.
