Sažetak

The authors report the experiences and results of the medical treatment of seventy-two wounded from Western Bosnia. Sixty-two (86,1%) patients suffered shooting wounds, the others suffered injuries caused by explosions, and one of the patients suffered a blast trauma. Thirteen (18,9%) patients were in shock and nine (12,5%) patients were polytraumatized when they were admitted to hospital. One (1,4%) patient died of a fat-embolism which followed a relatively banal bone- trauma. The authors point out numerous good results achieved in the treatment of penetrating war injuries of the thorax and the abdomen as well as nonoccurrence of extensive soft tissue and bone infections. They emphasize the importance of regular daily re-dressing and control of war injuries done by surgeons. A great number of parasitological diseases (29,2%) is characteristic of the treated population.
