Changes in hormonal background in the immediate postoperative period in women with penetrating gunshot wounds of the small pelvis

Introduction. The problem of traumatic injuries of the pelvic girdle, until now still does not lose its relevance.The purpose of the study. To study changes in hormonal background in women with penetrating gunshot wounds of the small pelvis in the immediate postoperative period.Materials and methods of research. Forty female patients from the civilian population who were treated for penetrating gunshot wounds of the small pelvis received as a result of localized combat operations were selected. The mean age was 36±4 years. The immediate postoperative period depends on the time factor occupying the interval from the moment of wounding to the surgical intervention. Based on this, we formed two clinical groups of 20 people each. The first group (A) included the wounded, whose time interval did not exceed 60 min, and the second group (B) included the wounded, whose time interval exceeded 60 min.Results. Starting from the first day after surgery, the increase of hormones in the two groups differed: in group A, where help was provided more quickly, respectively, the traumatic factor was less, the amount of hormones increased compared to normal values, however, compared to group B.Conclusion. The study shows that pelvic gunshot wounds in women lead to changes in the hormonal background that depend on the time elapsed from the time of wounding to the start of surgical treatment and vary depending on the day elapsed since the surgical intervention was performed.
