Improving the Results of Surgical Treatment of Abscessed Cellulitis of the Fingers and Toes in Patients with a Moderate and High Risk of Thromboembolic Complications Developing

Abstract

The article presents the experience of low molecular weight heparins usage in outpatient general surgery in compromised patients, namely with abscessed cellulitis of the fingers and toes affected by moderate and high risk of thromboembolic complications developing. The results of the study indicate that the low molecular weight heparins usage in patients with abscessed cellulitis of the fingers and toes affected by moderate or high risk of thromboembolic complications significantly reduces the chances and the probability of purulonecrotic complications in the area of intervention in the early postoperative period (OR = 4.32, RR = 3.60). Also, in this category of patients on the back of low molecular weight heparins usage significantly enhanced chances and probability (OR = 5.60, RR = 4.73) of the favorable treatment outcomes development are observed, consisting in the safekeeping of fingers (toes) and its functional activities.
