The most probable diseases that can develop in crew members under conditions of medical selection of candidates on earth are shown. The issues of instrumental diagnostics of acute diseases and injuries of the thoracic and abdominal cavities are considered. The main attention in the article is paid to the issues of the operational manual in the conditions of microgravity of the spacecraft. Possible surgical accesses for the treatment of acute surgical diseases and possible injuries of crew members are being considered. It also describes possible problems on the part of both the surgical technique itself with virtually no gravity, and the reason not allowing the use of robotic remote surgical techniques.
