Experience acquired by applying gentamicin-sponge.

Chronic suppuration is a reverting problem in surgical practice. The concerned region either has insufficient circulation due to basic disease, or systemic antibiotics takes no effect due to inflammatory barrier developed meanwhile. For this reason Authors initiated systematic use of gentamicin sponge (Garamycin, Schering-Plough, USA) two years ago. During this period we implanted gentamicin sponge in 40 cases. After primary intervention in 85% of treated patients we observed complete recovery, or in case of ulcus cruris we reached proper condition for skin-transplantation. Three patients needed further incision and in two cases amputation of diabetic foot could not be avoided. Our results support the effectivity of gentamicin sponge in treating local inflammatory processes supplementing and increasing efficiency of surgical procedures.

Jejunal nutrition.

Contrary to the past experience of forced parenteral nutrition nowaday's the enteral [jejunal] nutrition enjoys priority. It is not questionable, that well adjusted and controlled application of fluid, ion, fat, carbon hydrate, amino acid promoted convalescence. The experiences of the Authors supports that enteral nutrition through technically proper outperformed jejunostomy does not increase complication rate and beside well controlled food administration provides the physiologic stimules of food, the method is relatively easy and cost effective. For this reason the Authors initiated jejunostomy at the end of larger interventions such as Akyama procedure, total gastrectomy, multivisceral interventions, pancreatectomy, operations for massive gastrointestinal bleeding and finally reoperations with extreme negative N-balance and with the chance of inability of oral feeding for several days.
