The aspiration method of preventing suppurations (after Redon) was used in 948 patients. After "pure" operations suppurations were found to appear in 0,8%, after "conventionally pure" operations in 1,3% and after operations associated with a considerable postoperative risk of a wound infection--in 17% of cases. The aspiration--irrigation method of preventing suppurations was used in 69 patients operated under conditions of a developing purulent process. Suppuration of the wounds was found to develop in 1,3% of cases.
