Trauma Surgery
Emergency surgical management of life-threatening abdominal and thoracoabdominal injuries.
What is Trauma Surgery?
Trauma surgery is the emergency surgical management of life-threatening injuries from blunt or penetrating abdominal and thoracoabdominal trauma. The modern damage control surgery approach — abbreviated initial surgery followed by ICU resuscitation and definitive repair — reduces mortality in major trauma.
Dr. Tagore Mohan Grandhi provides emergency trauma surgical care using ATLS-based assessment and damage control principles. A fully equipped surgical team and facility are available for emergency care around the clock.
Suitable for patients with abdominal trauma from road traffic accidents, penetrating injuries, or industrial accidents — requiring emergency surgical assessment and management for haemorrhage, organ injury, or bowel contamination.
How the Procedure Works
ATLS Assessment
Airway, breathing, circulation, disability assessed. FAST ultrasound identifies free peritoneal fluid. CT trauma series when stable.
Damage Control Laparotomy
Emergency midline laparotomy. Active haemorrhage controlled by packing. Bowel perforations temporarily stapled. Abdomen left open if needed.
ICU Resuscitation
Correction of hypothermia, acidosis, and coagulopathy in ICU. Massive transfusion protocol. Ventilatory support as required.
Definitive Repair
Return to theatre at 24–48 hours for definitive organ repair and bowel anastomosis once physiologically stabilised.
Rehabilitation
Structured rehabilitation commenced once haemodynamically stable. Stoma care education if stoma formed.
Outcomes
Who Needs This Treatment?
- →Damage control corrects lethal triad before definitive repair
- →Temporary haemorrhage control saves lives when definitive repair is unsafe
- →ICU resuscitation optimises physiology — reducing post-operative complications
- →24/7 emergency surgical team availability
In major trauma, the first operation is about saving life — not restoring anatomy. Damage control gives us the time to resuscitate the patient properly before we come back to complete the repair safely.
