The effect of granulated sugar application on healing in the treatment of infected wounds and abscesses
Abstract
With this study it was tried to use the rather
simple, cheap and uncomplicated treatment method of crystallise
sugar application as an help ot treatment in the field of veterinary
medicine.
In this study materials were consisted of total 28 cases;
these were; 1 dog, 1 rabbits, 2 horses and 4 cattle which had
been brought to the surgery clinics. 1 horse, 2 catle had bursitis
purulenta, 2 ca/ve s had arthritis purulenta, 1 cat, 1 sheep, 4
horses, 3 cattle had intected and necrotic wounds, 6 dogs had
experimentally m ade symetric wounds:
Granulated sugar was applied in crystallise form as 40%
solution and 59% paste form. One of the experimentally m ade
wounds was treated in clasical medhod, and the next one is
by grunulated sugar application. Any antibiotic was used expect
in arthritis purulenta cases.
The resistance of the wound was measured comparative-
/y with an electronic prebe (Eastern-Animdletek-lnc. USA) in
order to· have an idea about the improvement rate of the healing
results of granulation tissue of experimentally made
wounds in 3 dogs. From the other 3 dogs 1 gram of muscle
piece was taken before and third and sixth day after the treatment
in order to detect the bacteria /eve/ on both of the
wounds, that colony counts were m ade.
Putrid flow from abscesses in different dimensions has
stopped varying in time ot 3 to 5 days by application of 40 %
granulated sugar solution. This time was obtained as 4 days in
arthritis and 2-3 days in bursitis cases. Complete healing was
in between 10-17 days.
In the infected wounds it was detected that production of
granulation tissue by ceasing of flow occured in 3 to 5 days
depending on the size of the wound. lt has neeted 7 to 13
daysfor granulation tissue to reac/J to the skin /eve/.
lt was reported that the regression of the size of the
wound half of its original size on the fifth day and a higher resistance
of sugar applied wound was detected in the measurements
of the granulation tissue improvement.
Reduction of bacteria number was detected in sugar applied
wounds comparing with the other one in colony countings
bacteriologically.
Findings at the end of this study was showed that because
of good results, cheapness, easily applicabliness and
most abundancy of sugar it may be an alternative to other
classical treatment methods.
