Such data help in training of residents of plastic surgery and other specialties for better understanding the concept of interdisciplinary management and delivery of quality healthcare to victims of trauma.
Although the literature search reveals significant work of several authors in the field of extremity and craniofacial trauma, the holistic role of plastic and reconstructive surgeon in the multidisciplinary trauma management has never been reported from India. The need of plastic surgeon at a Level 1 trauma centre is undeniable.
Apart from the management of life-threatening visceral injuries, a high-volume Level 1 trauma centre is faced with challenges about management of soft-tissue injuries of extremities, trunk, complex maxillofacial injuries and their sequelae. The unreported morbidity of post-traumatic sequelae is expected to be much higher. According to the Ministry of Road Transport and Highways, Government of India annual publication, ‘Road Accidents in India-2016’ over 1.5 lakhs deaths were noted in the year 2016.
