OBJECTIVE: To develop an optimal algorithm for complex treatment of patients with necrotic soft tissue infections (NSTI).
MATERIAL AND METHODS: The study included 114 patients with NSTI who were treated between 2016 and 2021. We analyzed treatment outcomes in 2 groups: retrospective ( n =43) with traditional approaches to purulent surgery (drainage of necrotic foci, local therapy with iodophores and water-soluble ointments, antibacterial and detoxification therapy, delayed skin grafting) and prospective ( n =71) with active surgical treatment and modern algorithm based on a differentiated approach and high-tech methods (vacuum therapy, hydrosurgical treatment of wounds, early skin grafting and extracorporeal hemocorrection).
RESULTS: The main group was characterized by shorter phase I of the wound process by 7.1±2.1 days, earlier relief of symptoms of systemic inflammatory response by 4.2±1.4 days, shorter hospital-stay by 7.7±2.2 days and lower mortality by 15%.
CONCLUSION: Early surgery and integrated approach including active surgical strategy, early skin grafting and intensive care with extracorporeal detoxification are necessary to improve the outcomes in patients with NSTI. These measures are effective to eliminate purulent-necrotic process, reduce mortality and hospital-stay.
