SUBSTANCE: invention relates to medicine, namely to surgery, and can be used in the treatment of patients with superficial and deep phlegmons of the forearm. Method includes opening purulent cavity, sanitizing and draining it.

Art. lasting 2 hours. Then, indirect lymphotropic therapy is carried out by sequential paranodular drug administration. In this case lymphotropic therapy, depending on the prevalence of phlegmon and its localization, is performed by subcutaneous administration of drugs along the lateral surfaces of the forearm or wrist joint in the area of lymph node localization in two stages – from the medial and lateral sides. Interval between steps is 2 minutes. Course of treatment – once a day for 7 days.
