[The nature and characteristics of treating nonpenetrating abdominal wounds].

According to the analysis of 2687 medical histories of abdominal injuries during the 9 years of the Afghan war 25% of them were nonpenetrating wounds. The basic surgical intervention in these cases was a primary surgical treatment of wounds. Laparotomy was performed for 10% of patients because of suspicion of internal injuries. After admission of such patients to medical establishments they must pass a thorough examination.
