Principles of War Surgery

An international team of authors led by two of our leading experts in the field of war surgery has developed the most comprehensive and up-to-date view on the issue of providing surgical care for the wounded and sick in field conditions during armed conflicts, humanitarian crises and natural disasters. The strategy, doctrine and concept of surgical assistance of the armies of NATO countries is suitably supplemented by the experience of the surgeons of the Czech Armed Forces Medical Service from contemporary foreign missions. The book contains universal principles as well as specific recommendations for the classification and treatment of the most common war injuries, especially ballistic injuries. It is intended for military and civilian surgeons, but it should not be missing in the library of any military doctor or doctors working within the Integrated Rescue System of the Czech Republic.
