AbstractThe deaths happened as a result of wounds caused by non-lethal weapon (NLW) are mainly associated with severe and extremely severe damage of brain. However, vast number of specific problems occurs in cases of extracranial gunshot wounds caused by NLW. Taking into account little physicians' experience, and absence of standard approaches to treatment of these wounds till now. This paper embraces peculiarities of clinical signs, diagnosis and surgical treatment of cervical, truncal, and extremities wounds caused by NLW. Our investigation allowed to draw a conclusion that gunshot wounds caused by NLW have similar characteristics. These ones are the same with signs of wounds caused by small arms. Surgical treatment of wounds caused by NLW is based on the standard approaches to treatment of low-velocity missile wounds.
