On October 13, 2022, KSMU hosted a scientific and practical conference “TOPICAL ISSUES OF SOFT TISSUE WOUND TREATMENT”.
It is difficult to overestimate the urgency of this problem, the frequency of purulent-inflammatory diseases of skin and soft tissues reaches 30-35% in the structure of surgical hospitals.
