Trauma surgeons practice the last subspecialty of general surgery to be created. Comfortable in operating on most body parts and cavities, trauma surgeons carry on the tradition of military surgeons as depicted in the novel M*A*S*H. Trauma surgeons have a high success rate in the sickest of patients who have sustained life and limb-threatening injuries. Trauma surgeons have become specialists in Surgical Critical Care, burns and Emergency Surgery, while in the process creating the new specialty of Acute Care Surgery. Some trauma surgeons have also become involved in research and education through specialty societies such as the Eastern Association for the Surgery of Trauma (EAST).
In many hospitals throughout the United States and Britain, trauma surgeons primarily stabilize patients and then transfer the patient to the appropriate department. For instance, a patient presenting to the emergency room with peripheral nervous system trauma would preferably be treated by a neurosurgeon. Likewise, patients with musculoskeletal problems would be treated by an orthopedic surgeon, and a patient with heart issues by a cardiovascular surgeon, etc. As trauma surgery has increasingly become unoperative in nature, its popularity amongst medical students has fallen drastically.
