Abstract
The authors of this chapter include emergency physicians, surgical specialists and anaesthetists with experience of working in a wide variety of hostile environments. As with earlier chapters, the aim is not to “teach grandmothers to suck eggs”. Senior surgeons with deployment experience will have their own tried and trusted methods for managing patients under austere circumstances, and some will belong to that dying breed the “general surgeon”. This chapter is not aimed at the senior and experienced old hands. Rather, the purpose is to illustrate the range and complexity of conditions covered by our chapter headings for the more junior and often specialised health professional with a surgical interest in the widest sense
