This analysis aims to evaluate the surgical management of spinal cord injuries caused by gunshot wounds and their neurological outcomes.
Retrospective review of medical records from 24 patients with gunshot-induced spinal cord injuries.
Data included demographics, level of injury, neurological status (ASIA scale), and surgical procedures.
Statistical analysis employed Fisher’s exact and Mann–Whitney tests.
Majority of patients were male (87.5%) with a mean age of 29.7 years.
70.8% presented with complete neurological deficits (ASIA A) at admission.
Neurological improvement was observed in 16.7% of patients, exclusively in those with incomplete injuries.
Laminectomy was the most common surgical procedure (62.5%), and complications were rare (8.3%).
