[The medical evacuation procedures in slight gunshot wounds]

The article makes a detailed analysis concerning the results of treatment of minimally wounded who were stationed at the separate medical battalion. All the wounded were returned to the ranks in first 55 days from the moment of wounding, and after being examined by the Main Medical Commission. There is a direct dependency between the terms of treatment, number of surgical interventions, development of complications on the one hand, and the size of wound on the other hand. The article stresses that actually the duration of treatment of minor wounded at the separate medical battalion is limited by 10 days. The authors make a conclusion that the possible increase of these terms could return the wounded to their duties without further evacuation to the other medical establishments. There are indications for primary surgical management of gunshot wounds and for further evacuation of this category of wounded from separate medical battalion.
