War Surgery in Afghanistan and Iraq, with a foreword by Bob

with vivid surgical photos, the cases encompass the spectrum
of trauma that characterizes war today, as well as the
medical interventions constantly evolving to treat these
wounds. With the most recent cases report from cobat

authors discuss in detail an array of topics including: *
Damage control surgery * Aggressive management of
compartment syndrome * New directions in the management of
head injuries * Use of tourniquets, * Decision analysis in
the approach to vascular repairs and * Soft-tissue coverage
of wounds. War Surgery in Afghanistan and Iraq provides all
