Summary

Military Medical Academy (MMA) treated 410 abdominal war injuries. Early treatment at MMA significantly reduced reoperation and mortality rates for these complex trauma cases.

Area of Science:

  • Trauma Surgery
  • Military Medicine
  • Surgical Outcomes

Context:

  • Analysis of war-wounded patients treated at the Military Medical Academy (MMA) in Belgrade between July 1, 1991, and December 31, 1992.
  • Focus on 410 cases of abdominal war injuries, representing 9.6% of all treated wounded.
  • Investigated the impact of primary treatment location on patient outcomes.

Purpose:

  • To evaluate the incidence and characteristics of abdominal war injuries.
  • To compare the outcomes, including reoperation rates and mortality, for patients receiving primary treatment at MMA versus other hospitals.
  • To identify the most frequently injured organs and common injury mechanisms in abdominal war trauma.

Summary:

  • Explosive devices were the primary cause of injury (61.5%).
  • The small intestine (40%) and colon (30.7%) were the most frequently injured organs.
  • Patients receiving primary treatment at MMA had significantly lower reoperation rates (7% vs. 33.8%) and mortality (4.5% vs. 14.9%) compared to those treated elsewhere.

Impact:

  • Early surgical intervention at specialized centers like MMA is crucial for improving survival rates in abdominal war injuries.
  • Highlights the importance of prompt and appropriate management in reducing complications and mortality in complex trauma.
  • Provides valuable data for military medical planning and trauma care protocols.
