His View About Trauma and Emergency Surgery
Because of rapid increasing population and urbanization, traffic accident, wound and terror have increased day by day. Because of this reason, necessary importance and attention should be given to trauma and surgical emergency organization. Especially, patients who have multi-trauma are controlled by one specialist (who are specialist only area about the body) and other specialist be only consultants in this condition. So, patients who are not controlled as a whole can be exposed to mortality and morbidity. Therefore, the first thing which should be done is training trauma and emergency surgery specialists in Turkey. In countries, like USA, which have more trauma events, trauma and emergency surgical is a upper specialty after general surgery. This should be constituted in Turkey immediately. Hence; examination of this kind of patients, organization can be done more consciously by this specialists.
