Trauma

---

Trauma surgery utilizes both operative and non-operative management to treat traumatic injuries, typically in an acute setting. The reception and stabilisation of patients is a critical function in ensuring survival, and requires a suite of leadership, decision-making, team-working and technical skills, carefully synchronised and orchestrated in order to ensure that the correct treatment is deployed at the right time. Continuity of care, and oversight of the patient’s journey from admission through to discharge and subsequent rehabilitation, is an important attribute of successful pathways of trauma care. Some of the Trauma procedures are listed below.
