OBJECTIVE

To analyze the indicators of emergency surgical care in the Volgograd region between 2017 and 2021.

MATERIAL AND METHODS

We summarized and analyzed primary statistical data presented in annual analytical collections of the chief surgeon of the Ministry of Healthcare of Russia «Surgical care In Russian Federation» (Revishvili A.Sh. et al.) and the Rosstat collections «Regions of Russia. Socio-economic indicators».

RESULTS

According to analytic system outworked in the Vishnevsky National Research Medical Center of Surgery, surgical service in the Volgograd region dropped from the 64^th to the 82^nd place among other entities between 2017 and 2021. Insufficient innovative development of surgical service is evidenced by small number of surgeons, common part-time work, no dynamics in introduction of laparoscopic surgeries and high in-hospital mortality in some acute abdominal disease. Work of regional surgical service was compared with socio-economic development of region and monitoring indicators in the «Health» national project.

CONCLUSION

Improving the efficacy of surgical service in the Volgograd region requires joint efforts of the entire regional healthcare system.
