About this book
Reviews
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.” (Russell L. Gruen, Journal of the American Medical Association, Vol. 306 (5), August, 2011)Editors and Affiliations
