"We are dealing with projectiles that have high kinetic energy; there has been little experience with this. The bullets they use are cluster munitions. We now have patients with puncture wounds that pass through the body … and the classic ballistics that we studied in the academy have changed in this case," thoracoabdominal surgery specialist Alexander Babich said. Since the time of Russian surgeon Nikolay Pirogov, military conflicts have served as an impetus for the development of science and technology, especially in medicine, he added. The widespread use of drones leads to patients with injuries in multiple areas of their bodies. They are known as "combined injuries," affecting the chest, abdomen and limbs, Babich said. He said that the surgeon and anesthesiologist face a challenge in "performing the correct operations" since there is "one person and many injuries."
