@Me4Trauma I think being a high volume CR surgeon helps with trauma, given that I am frequently in all 4 quadrants of the abdomen and still do many trauma mobilizations routinely in my elective practice

@Me4Trauma Although, the majority of my deployed cases were orthopedic in nature. Much of this comes down to judgement, anatomy, and sound technique. Pre-deployment courses incorporating good splinting principles and ex-fix use for non-ortho also important #Q2 #SoMe4Trauma #SoMe4Surgery
@Me4Trauma #colorectalsurgery background also extremely helpful with intestinal injury and good damage control principles, especially after damage control when resuscitation is complete and it is time for reconstruction/restoration of continuity #Q2 #SoMe4Trauma #SoMe4Surgery
@Me4Trauma Some of the most devastating injuries we’ve seen in last decade and a half are dismounted IEDs. No analogous injury in civilian centers, and I think #colorectalsurgery input in perineal reconstruction is crucial as these patients recover #Q2 #SoMe4Trauma #SoMe4Surgery
@Me4Trauma Also, there is much overlap between trauma and emergency diverticulitis literature and procedural decision-making. When to anastomose incorporating physiologic derangement in your decision-making algorithm #Q2 #SoMe4Trauma #SoMe4Surgery
