Kuzey Afganistan’da konuþlandýrýlan askeri cerrahlarýn deneyimi ve gelecek için dersler

Askeri cerrah, standart bir klinik alanda çalýþan ancak ayný zamanda becerilerini olaðan dýþý durumlara adapte etmeyi öðrenmek zorunda olan ve askeri týbbi strateji planlamasýný etkileyen baþlýca faktörlere ve kriz bölgelerinde mevzisine baðlý güçlüklerle baþ etmek zorunda bulunan bir doktordur. Tek kesin olan þey, bu özel koþullarýn temelde anavatanýn askeri hastanelerindeki rutin koþullardan farklýlýk göstermesidir. Personel, ekipman ve teknik kaynaklardaki kýsýtlýlýklar, mevzi bölgesindeki yalýtým, yerel bir saðlýk sisteminin olmamasý, hastalarýn özel durumlarý ile yaralanma ve hastalýklarýn doðasý, baþlýca benzersiz zorluklardýr.

The experience of military surgeons from a north Afghanistan deployment and lessons for the future

A military surgeon is a physician who works in a standard clinical field, but who also has to learn to adapt his skills to exceptional circumstances and must cope with special challenges due to his deployment in crisis regions, a fact that is one of the major factors influencing military medical strategy planning. The only certainty is that these special circumstances differ fundamentally from the routine circumstances at the military hospitals of the mother country. The limitations in personnel, equipment and technical resources, the isolation within the deployment region, the lack of a local healthcare system, the specialized aspects of the patients, and the nature of the injuries and diseases represent the main unique challenges.
