Sažetak
The work of the Požega Medical Center Surgical Unit during the two war years (from July 16, 1991, to October 1, 1993) in Croatia is described. Since the war operations did not affect the town directly, the work was mostly characterized by treatment of wounds inflicted by explosive devices (51.2%) and localized mostly on the extremities (62.9%), Apart from these wounds, there were 0.7% burns, 26.6% gunshot wounds, and 19.6% injuries caused by blunt and hard objects. Of the total of 959 treated wounded persons, only 18 (1.9%) died, illustrating the success of the therapy administered according to the war surgery doctrine criteria.
