PROCEDURES Trauma surgery

Trauma surgery is a branch of medicine that focuses on treating and caring for injuries caused by impact forces and are often life-threatening. Impact forces can have many causes, but some of the most common ones include car accidents, falls, sports and crush injuries, and gunshot or stab wounds.

At EL Surgeons, our team is specially trained to identify and handle impact force injuries to the head and neck, chest, abdominal area, legs, feet, arms and hands. As a result, we can safely and effectively treat many traumatic injuries.

Once you arrive at the emergency room, you will be assessed to identify the extent of your injuries, and we will determine which are the most threatening to function and life. Resuscitation and stabilisation are vital priorities before surgical operations. Once you are adequately stabilised, we will begin surgical preparation.
