MORPHOLOGICAL CHARACTERISTICS OF THE WOUND PROCESS IN AN OPTIMIZED SURGICAL TREATMENT OF widespread purulent- INFLAMMATORY PROCESSES OF THE MAXILLOFACIAL AREA

Aim. The research was conducted to study the processes occurring in soft tissues in the surgical treatment of widespread purulent-inflammatory processes of the maxillofacial area and to confirm the effectiveness of the developed optimal surgical technology.

Materials and methods. A surgical treatment of 20 patients with the widespread purulent-inflammatory processes of maxillofacial area was carried out according to the developed surgical technology. In all cases, the tissue was taken from the area of the pathological focus for the pathomorphological examination at all stages of treatment.

Results. The morphological study of the drugs obtained during a primary surgery on the purulent-inflammatory focus showed a picture of the serous-purulent inflammation with a severe leukocyte infiltration. Necrobiosis and tissue necrosis prevailed in the center of the purulent-inflammatory focus. After 3 days, the wound began to grow young granulation tissue with a large number of capillary kidneys, a marked decrease in the level of leukocyte infiltration, the appearance of fibroblasts and lymph-histiocytic elements, the formation of fibrous connective tissue.

Conclusion. The morphological assessment of the wound process showed a positive dynamics and the effectiveness of the proposed treatment of the patients with purulent-inflammatory processes of the maxillofacial area.
