Description
This guide to damage control surgery focuses on the decision-making process for managing polytrauma. Orthopedists, trauma surgeons, and emergency medicine physicians will learn how to effectively coordinate efforts. The book presents an overview of the damage control concept and the epidemiology of polytrauma injuries. Immunological changes, cascade reactions, and patient selection are discussed. Indications for life-saving procedures, damage control for truncal injuries, and damage control for extremities and pelvic fractures are outlined as well. The text also covers vascular injuries and secondary definitive procedures.

From the reviews: "This unique textbook, with 24 chapters and 58 authors, is both a technical manual and a clear illustration of the cultural challenges faced during a time of ... radical transformation, especially by surgeons. ... contains some excellent insights and clearly portrays the role of the surgeon throughout the injured patient's journey, from resuscitation to reconstruction. ... integrates damage control philosophy into a practical guide for managing the most severely injured patients. ... a valuable resource for any clinicians, especially surgeons, involved in trauma care."
