Abstract

The actual situation in surgical training doesn't allow for intensive studies of war and disaster surgery anymore. There is a real risk for Switzerland to loose the know-how on these subjects in the future. With continuous surge in urban violence and increasing risks for technological and natural disasters, such knowledge is necessary to successfully manage such situations through optimal utilization of the available resources.
