Trauma Surgery

Trauma surgeons (also called surgical critical care and acute care surgeons) specialise in treating injuries sustained from motor vehicle or motorcycle collisions, falls, work or sports-related accidents, gunshot wounds, crush injuries, etc.

Trauma surgeons utilise a variety of techniques to treat injuries, usually in an emergency setting. Furthermore, severely injured trauma patients require a team approach in which several consultants from varying specialties (e.g., orthopaedic surgery, neurosurgery) provide specific expertise to treat the patient.

Our trauma surgeons take each respective consultant's recommendations and prioritise treatment based on the immediate needs of the patient.
