Synopses & ReviewsPublisher Comments:War Surgery in Afghanistan and Iraq with a foreword by Bob Woodruff, describes the management of nearly 100 cases of acute comat trauma, conducted in the forward austere operative environment of war in the 21st century. Presented 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 hospitals within months of publication, this book presents emerging medical-surgical practice in real time. The 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 medical professionals with insight into the extraordinary technical, clinical, and ethical challenges of their deployed colleagues. Review:JAMA, American Medical Association dated November 5, 2008 by Thomas M. Scalea, MD, Shock Trauma Center, University of Maryland School of Medicine, Baltimore
"The organization of the book is unique and easy to comprehend. The case presentations are quite succinct. Teaching points as well as clinical implications are highlighted to make them easy to follow and to aid in understanding the important lessons. . . .
The book becomes almost a tutorial essay of what can and should be done when delivering trauma care on the battlefield. To my knowledge, no similar book has ever been put together to help educate civilian trauma practitioners. . . .
I enjoyed the opportunity to review this book and enthusiastically recommend it to all readers interested in injury care."
