Vascular Emergency Surgery: Simulated Exercises for Limb Salvage (VESSELS) - Development of a Simulation Model and Hybrid Curriculum for the Military General Surgeon

Abstract

Military surgeons have the unique responsibility of maintaining a broad set of surgical skills to care for combat-related injuries during times of peace. Lower and upper limb amputations are life-altering combat injuries sustained by our military personnel. Salvage of a limb saves someone from impaired mobility, abnormal physiology, and social effects of amputation and requires the knowledge and technical proficiency to diagnose and treat vascular traumatic injuries.
