Abstract
In the modern world, local military conflicts are not uncommon. A feature of local wars is a dynamically changing tactical situation, which can lead to massive losses and more serious injuries. This creates new challenges related to the treatment of combat trauma victims. We analyzed our experience of application of NPWT in complex surgical treatment of combat wounds and injuries of various locations.

The aim of the study was to study the results of treatment of victims with gunshot wounds of various localizations by applying NPWT techniques in complex surgical treatment
Summary
A feature of local wars is a dynamically changing tactical situation, which can lead to massive losses and more serious injuries. This creates new challenges related to the treatment of combat trauma victims. T HE military conflict in the East of Ukraine led to a significant increase in the number of explosive and gunshot wounds, both among the armed forces and the civilian population.[1, 2] In the structure of modern combat surgical trauma, the main part is shrapnel 61.6% and bullet 9.1% gunshot wounds, blast trauma and burns are 27% and 2.3% respectively.[1, 3]
