During a period of two years from May 1990 to May 1992 at the General Hospital of Culiacan, Sin. Six patients from the Pediatric Surgery Department with a diagnosis of wound produced by bibi-guns were studied. All patients required surgical treatment with general anesthesia. The average age of patients was 5.8 +/- 1.5 years, five male and one female; wounds were produced accidentally in four cases and two in a guns-game. The severity of the injury was evaluated, and in two cases their internal injury laid in danger the life of patient. No deaths occurred.<p />  <p>Language: es</p>
