Notes

  1. 1.

    Primary surgery describes the first surgery to repair local damage caused by wounding and implies the capability to provide DCS as well.

  2. 2.

    Damage control surgery describes emergency surgical procedures and treatment by a surgical team in order to save life, limb, or function. DCS techniques are applied when the magnitude of tissue and organ damage is such that primary surgery is likely to exceed the casualty's physiological limits.
