SURGICAL APPROACH FOR STOMACH WOUNDS CAUSED BY GUNSHOTS OF LIMITED DAMAGE

Abstract

In peacetime conditions wounds caused by gunshots of limited damage have been occurred in emergency surgical care more and more frequently. Despite of the established approach in the treatment of gunshot stomach wounds, the authors of this article have summarized the existing experience of treatment of nine victims suffering gunshot wounds to the stomach, performed an analysis of treatment of the victims of this category and developed the diagnostic and treatment algorithm from the perspective of modern technologies. This algorythm has proved its value by absence of lethality and just one anticipated light complication among the victims.
