[Surgical aid to military men of internal troops and staff of Ministry of Internal Affairs of Russia wounded during contra-terrorist actions on Northern Caucasia].

The 4-years experience of medical supporting of a wide-ranging contra-terrorist action (2000-2003) has conclusively demonstrated an exact correlation between intensity of battle actions and scales of sanitarian losses, between character of battle actions and structure of sanitarian losses, between steps, passed by wounded and results of treatment. In offensive operations dominated single gunshot wounds. In these conditions was marked a high frequency of chest case, of hurts of venter and hip joint. In conditions, when territory is already occupied and the opponent began a "landmine" war,dominate fragment and multiple wounds. In the same phase of war frequency of conjoined and combinated hurts rise, the same as hurts of legs. In conditions of battle actions in structure of viscerogenic pathology the first place is occupied by diseases of respiratory system, of blood circulatory system and urogenital system.
