The medical records of 100 patients with gunshot abdomen injuries were analysed. The damaging nature of the projectile, the nature of the damage and the combination with damage to other body parts were studied. The anesthesiologist--resuscitator and surgeon actions after hospitalisation of injured persons were postulated. The emergency victim examination was reduced to ultrasound and SCT. The indications for laparotomy in abdominal gunshot injuries were defined. Three most common variants of gunshot abdomen injuries were found. In surgical treatment we applied "damage control" strategy included the initial (abbreviated) operation, resuscitative therapy and final operation. The postoperative complications, couse of deaths was investigated.
