[Treatment of local infections, cranial and spinal, with suction irrigation drainage. Experiences in 60 patients]. / Die Behandlung lokaler Infekte, kranial und spinal, mit Saugspüldrainagen. Erfahrungen bei 60 Patienten.

In 60 cases with postoperative infection we used local suction/irrigation drainage with primary wound closure. This method has some advantages 1. Healing needs much less time, especially in spinal localisations and 2. in one third of cranial infections removal of the bone flap was not necessary.
