Abstract
The treatment of gunshot thoracoabdominal injuries is a relevant issue in modern medicine. The high mortality rate, reaching 28.6 %, indicates the need to improve existing diagnostic and treatment approaches in providing medical care to such injured individuals during evacuation stages. The presented clinical case demonstrates the effectiveness of applying a staged approach to providing medical care for thoracoabdominal trauma.
