Abstract
The article deals with the general description of severe combined traumatic brain injury and organizing special neurosurgical care to patients in Osh Region of Kyrgyz Republic. Material and methods: Among the patients mainly man are dominated – 77.9 %, and man at the age of 20 to 50 (69.9 %), i.e. the most able-bodied part of the society. Results: The main cause of severe combined traumatic brain injury is still a traffic accident (74.3 %). Postsurgical and overall mortality in clinics where there is no full-time neurosurgeon and computed tomography scanner is higher. Most hospitals in Osh Region are still not equipped with computer tomography. The presence in the hospital staff full time neurosurgeon has crucial importance in reducing postsurgical and overall mortality.Keywords
