Contamination of the operative wounds with aerobic and nonsporulating anaerobic microflora is known to take place in the process of operation. Lower degree of the contamination of the operative wounds by the end of operations results in lower incidence of suppurations. It can be achieved in pure and conventionally pure operations of a less traumatic character by the application of preoperative gentamycin electrophoresis onto the operation field, while in conventionally pure operations of great traumatism and contaminated operations--by active irrigating drainage.
