    Abstract:
    Results of examinations and treatment of 167 patients with simultaneous injuries of the thorax and abdomen are presented. It is demonstrated that x-ray and ultrasonic examinations help make choice on right surgical policy. All the patients were divided into two groups. Study group (137 patients) was treated according to proposed curative algorithm. The rest 30 patients were included into control group. Volume of intra-surgical hemorrhage and time of surgery were greater in the control group compared with the study group. Proposed algorithm permitted to reduce number of postoperative complications from 46.7 to 21.2%, and lethality -- from 13.3 to 4.1%.
