Abstract

War surgery has existed for perhaps as long as war itself. From the Greek myths in which the sons of Asclepius, the God of Medicine, tended the wounded in the battle for Troy [1] to the Romans who evacuated their fallen soldiers [2] and Salya Tantra, war surgery in ancient India [3], caring for the injured and dying, has been as important on the battlefield as winning the battle; the responsibility for the care of the wounded has weighed heavily on military personnel.
