Trauma surgery is the specialization in surgery that focuses on the treatment and care of injuries, often life-threatening, that are caused by impact forces. The causes of impact forces are many, but some of the more common ones include traffic accidents, falls, sports and crush injuries, as well as gunshot or stab wounds.
In most jurisdictions, trauma surgeons are adequately trained and equipped to identify and handle injuries to the head and neck, abdominal area, chest, legs, feet, arms, and hands. Any patient that has experienced traumatic physical injury may be seen by a trauma specialist.
Upon arrival to the emergency room, patients are quickly assessed to identify the extent of the injuries and which are the most threatening to function and life. Resuscitation and stabilization are key priorities before surgical operations if urgent surgery is not necessary to save the patient’s life. This is then followed by definitive surgical therapy.
Trauma surgeons (also called critical care and acute care surgeons) specialize in performing emergency surgeries on people who’ve had a critical injury or illness. Trauma surgery requires extensive knowledge of surgical procedures and how to manage different types of injuries. A trauma surgeon can help you pull through a critical injury or an acute illness.
Trauma surgeons are qualified to diagnose and surgically repair trauma caused by injuries and illness. They must quickly evaluate a person’s condition and determine what type of operation--if any--is necessary. If you see a trauma surgeon, it’s usually after you arrive at a hospital’s emergency room. They come onto your care team if you may need surgery to treat your illness or injury.
