Leukocytic index of shift had reduced after the first procedure performance--by 23.1%, after the third--by more than 50%. T-lymphocytes quantity in 22-24 hours after conduction of the first EUIB procedure had increased by 23.8% and after the third--by 63%. General postoperative mortality after complex treatment conduction using EUIB had constituted 3.3% and without EUIB--6.5%.
