The treatment experience obtained during the study of 87 patients with various forms of intestinal stomas after abdominal gunshot injuries has shown that the most favorable periods for restorative surgical treatment are 2-3 months in the patients with stoma closure performed as a local procedure, and 6 months in the patients with stoma closure with the use of laparotomy. The optimal methods of stoma formation, preoperative preparation including the treatment of paracostomal and inflammatory complications of the bowel, the development of methods to prevent the complications of the restorative anastomosis allowed to improve the treatment results.
