Summary:Combined treatment of pyonecrotic focus and purulent see pages on foot by means of permanent abacterial medium creation was performed in 38 patients with decompensated diabetic ischemia of lower extremities. 2% boric acid was used as antiseptic (affected foot was immersed in the solution). Local use of this medium during 7-10 days with sodium succinate and other modern drugs administration permits to decrease lethality to 7.9%, rate of high amputations--to 5.3% (mean hospital stay was 24.6 +/- 0.83 bed days).
