[The use of antimicrobial preparations in preventing infectious wound complications after an operation on the kidney and upper urinary tract]. / Primenenie nekotorykh antimikrobnykh preparatov v profilaktike infektsionnykh ranevykh oslozhnenii posle operatsii na pochke i verkhnikh mochevykh putiakh.

Pre-, intra- and postoperative use of wide-spectrum antibiotics alone appeared insufficient to prevent postoperative infectious inflammation. Antiseptic chlorhexidine (0.02% solution) does not eradicate the infection focus either. Cleansing of the wound is effective provided antibacterial treatment of the operative wound is combined with intraoperative application of local long-acting antimicrobial plates gentacicol and solution of antiseptic sodium hypochlorite. The above approach results in a 3.5 times reduction in the number of infectious postoperative complications in patients operated on the kidney and upper urethra.
