Abstract:
Shotgun injuries constitute an increasing surgical problem as they frequently lead to severe trauma disease and even to death. These injuries are mainly diagnosed in young people and are localized in limbs. Human life is in danger in case of shotgun injuries of the head (CNS), abdominal and thoracic cavities. Prognosis is worse in multiple shotgun lesions. The dominating cause of death in shotgun victims is hemorrhagic shock. Patient's life is potentially in a real danger and necessitates precise diagnostic and therapeutic management in the early stages following shotgun trauma, in the operating room and in the postoperative phase.
