Gunshot head injuries make up 35% of all injuries. Brain injuries are diagnosed in 42.2% of cases, maxillofacial region - 35.7%, eye - 13.9%, outer and inner ear - 3.2%. These damages account 14.8%, 12.5%, 4.9% and 2.9% of the total number of injuries, respectively. In our opinion, primary surgical treatment of gunshot wounds should be carried out in a strict system of multiple-stage surgical management in accordance with the principles of treating wounds from high-speed weapons.
