Methods and materials: In June 2014 mobile military hospital was set up for providing qualified surgical help to warriors in the region of eastern Ukraine. 1460operations (62 laparoscopic) were carried out during first 9 months. Results: We use data of 23 patients suffered under abdomen and pelvis injuries: 18 had missile and gunshot wounds, 5 had closed traumas. Acute diseases of the abdomen cavity were diagnosed 39 patients. The penetrative character of shoot wound was excluded by 6 patients using the diagnostic laparoscopy.
