На основании анализа факторов риска нагноения послеоперационной раны был составлен протокол профилактики, предписывающий: не использовать монополярную коагуляцию при манипуляциях на коже и подкожно-жировой клетчатке; удалять гемостатический материал из раны; ослаблять установленный ранорасширитель каждые 65 мин хирургического вмешательства; отказаться от ушивания мышц в области ламинэктомии; отказаться от использования внутрикожного шва.</p><p>Цель исследования – верификация протокола профилактики нагноения послеоперационных ран.</p></sec><sec><title>Материалы и методы</title><p>Материалы и методы. В ходе сплошного ретроспективного когортного исследования были оценены результаты хирургического лечения 575 пациентов с травмами и заболеваниями позвоночника, находившихся под наблюдением в 2014–2016 гг. Пациенты были разделены на группы: оперированные в период с 2014 по 2016 г. (группа сравнения) и оперированные в 2017 г., при лечении которых был применен новый протокол профилактики осложнений (основная группа).</p></sec><sec><title>Результаты</title><p>Результаты. Доля пациентов с нагноением послеоперационной раны в группе сравнения составила 6 %, а в основной – 1,3 %.</p></sec><sec><title>Заключение</title><p>Заключение. Рассматриваемый протокол является эффективным средством снижения периоперационных осложнений и может быть рекомендован для профилактики нагноений послеоперационных ран у пациентов с заболеваниями и травмами позвоночника.</p></sec></abstract><trans-abstract xml:lang="en"><sec><title>Background</title><p>Background. We developed a Protocol based on the results of a previous study of risk factors for infection of a postoperative wound: do not use monopolar coagulation on the skin and subcutaneous fat; remove hemostatic material from the wound; relax the established wound expander every 65 minutes; refuse to suture the muscles in the area of laminectomy, refuse to use an intradermal suture.</p><p>The study objective is a verification of the received Protocol.</p></sec><sec><title>Materials and methods</title><p>Materials and methods. A comprehensive retrospective cohort study evaluated the results of surgical treatment of 575 spinal patients who were under the authors’ supervision in 2014–2016. Patients were divided into groups: operated in the period from 2014 to 2016 (control group), operated in 2017, in the treatment of which the Protocol for reducing complications was applied (main group).</p></sec><sec><title>Results</title><p>Results. It was found that after the introduction of the Protocol, the percentage of patients with postoperative wound infection decreased from 6.0 to 1.3 %.</p></sec><sec><title>Conclusion</title><p>Conclusion.
