Plastic surgical operative workload in major trauma patients following establishment of the major trauma network in England: A retrospective cohort study

摘要

Introduction: The introduction of major trauma centres (MTCs) in England has led to 63% reduction in trauma mortality. 1 The role of plastic surgeons supporting these centres has not been quantified previously. This study aimed to quantify plastic surgical workload at an urban MTC to determine the contribution of plastic surgeons to major trauma care.
