An epidemiological analysis of pyo-inflammatory diseases (PID) in surgical department of multiprofile hospitals has been made. PIDs were diagnozed in 16.2% of patients operated upon. The observation of fluctuations of the level of PID with regard for the correlation of severe and "minor" forms and terms of their appearance allows to make a conclusion of the probable place of infection and may serve an indicator of epidemiological situation. The application of film-forming drug "Lyfuzol" for closing operative wounds has decreased the incidence of PID in catarrhal and phlegmonous appendicitis 2.6 times.
