Abstract
Polytrauma is one of the leading causes of mortality in people at productive age. Prompt activation of the rescue system is most important in the treatment.
In cases of severe injuries, primary transport to a specialized hospital - trauma center is crucial. Our report is focused on two cases of polytraumatized patients whose treatment was associated with relatively rare situations.
One of the patients suffered a pancreatic injury that required pancreaticoduodenectomy. The other patient had a liver injury, which was treated with right lobectomy with a rare complication.
The necessity of a multidisciplinary approach to the management of severely injured patients is also emphasized in our report.
