Trauma Surgery
What is Trauma?
Trauma is that the injuries suffered when an individual experiences a blunt force or a penetrating injury. You will also hear trauma named as “major trauma.” Many trauma patients are the victims of car crashes, stabbings, and gunshot wounds. Trauma may also be caused by falls, crush type injuries, and pedestrians being struck by a car.
Traumatic injuries can affect internal organs, bones, the brain, and therefore the other soft tissues of the body. No area of the body is resistant to trauma, but trauma can range from minor (hitting your finger with a hammer) to major (being hit by a car traveling at a high rate of speed or fall off of a building).
What do we do in Trauma Surgery?
In the case of severe trauma like a car crash and fall off from a building the surgery team not only includes trauma surgeons but also general surgeons, orthopedic surgeons, vascular surgeons, and other surgeons as needed. The trauma includes not only surgeons but also paramedics, nurses, anesthetists, respiratory therapists, radiographers.
Trauma physicians are highly trained to diagnose and stabilize patients who are having traumatic injuries. They have to address things in a particular order. We have to fix which of the patient’s injuries need treatment first.
- Usually, the first stop the bleeding.
- Then, they eliminate any contamination threat to the wounds.
- Next, whether the patient is stable enough for immediate surgery or if the patient should be sent to the intensive care unit (ICU).
Traumatic injuries often include the following:
- Spine fractures and spinal cord injury

- Traumatic brain injury (TBI)
- Crush injury
- Acoustic trauma
- Broken or dislocated jaw

- Skull fracture
- Severe cuts and puncture wounds
