    AbstractPeculiarities of surgical treatment of wounded with combined thermomechanical injuries of the lower extremities under conditions of counter-terrorist operation. The authors analysed results of treatment of 67 wounded with injuries of the extremities, combined with burns. Two therapeutic approaches to surgical treatment were used. The first therapeutic approach (Early total Care - ETC) involved providing of a complete surgical care (the whole body is examined) during the first emergency operation and was used in 24 (35,8%) injured. The second therapeutic approach implied a differentiated approach to the treatment of wounded and treatment of injuries and was used in 43 (64,2%) patients. If arterial blood pressure was above 90 mm Hg, ETC approach was used in 19 (28,4%) wounded. If systolic blood pressure was less than 90 mm Hg programmable surgical approach Damage Control Surgery (DCS) was used in 24 (35,8%) patients. The use of differential surgical approach has led to increase in the number of complications from 45,8 to 55,8% (p=0,044) and decrease in mortality c 12,5 to 9,3% (p=0,039) compared with the group of wounded, where was used only traditional approach of single-stage treatment.
