[Clinical and therapeutic aspects of stab and gunshot wounds].
In the last three years (1992-1995) 130 stab (114) and gunshot (16) wounds were observed at and admitted to the Emergency Surgical Department of Fatebenefratelli Hospital of Milan. We observed a high incidence of non-EEC patients (62%). Imaging devices (US and CT scan) and surgical minimally invasive procedures have reduced open surgery rate with a remarkable reduction in drawbacks and mortality.
