[Bacteriologic and cytologic evaluation of vacuum therapy of suppurative wounds].

Results of the treatment of 438 patients have shown vacuum therapy of purulent wounds to make them clear from pus and microbes in short terms which contributes to the activation of reparative processes and ultimately makes the terms of the treatment shorter. The regeneration-degeneration index proposed allowed to mathematize the cytogram and results in a simpler and more objective orientation in the phases of the wound process.
