The trauma surgeon is a highly-skilled specialist who primarily treats patients who have suffered physical damage, generally in an emergency situation. As a result, trauma surgeons must be proficient with a wide range of general surgical, thoracic, and vascular operations. They cope with high emergency conditions, typically with limited time and inadequate information about the patient. Traditional trauma surgical therapies usually involve operations like exploratory laparotomy, in which a trauma surgeon must open up the patient’s belly and inspect the abdominal organs for any injury or disease. Furthermore, the surgeon opens the chest to execute tracheostomies, which are operations that include putting a breathing tube down the throat into the pleural space. In brief, these are some of the procedures done by a trauma surgeon and a qualified specialist.
