Abstract

288 patients were treated for suicide or auto-aggressive injuries of neck, thorax and abdomen, which amounted 12,8% of all patients with injuries of such localization. Able-bodied men with prolonged depressive disorders pre-dominated among them. Neck injuries were observed in 21,5%, thorax injuries - in 25,7%, abdominal injuries - in 33,7% of patients. Combined injuries of neck, thorax and abdomen were the most hard for surgical treatment (19,1%). Types of injuries and severity of clinical course in postoperative period depends on character and intensity of psychic disorders.
