  • Title: [The surgical procedure in blind gunshot wounds of the skull base].
    Author: Gofman VR, Kiselev AS.
    Journal: Vestn Khir Im I I Grek; 1998; 157(5):74-8. PubMed ID: 9915062.
    Abstract:
    Personal clinical observations during the recent years allow the authors to confirm the indisputable value of surgical experience got during the Great Patriotic War (1941-1945) and in particular, the "fourfold" scheme proposed by V. I. Voiachek for the diagnosis and treatment of blind gunshot wounds to the skull base. Computed tomography considerably increases the probability of detection of the exact localization of foreign bodies in complex anatomical structures of the skull and thus facilitates choosing the most rational surgical management. The use of the electro-optical transducer for the extraction of foreign bodies from almost inaccessible areas of the skull base decreases the risk of operation.
