The cost to society for treatment of injuries sustained from motor vehicle accidents is staggering. MVA’s account for the majority of hospital admissions for trauma in Cullman County. Initial assessment, stabilization, and definitive treatment are all essential parts of the care plan needed for these trauma victims. Surgical Arts plays a vital role in this process. After an initial evaluation by the Emergency physician, we are often called upon to render both surgical and non surgical care to the injured patient. Surgery of the neck, chest, abdomen, pelvis, and blood vessels are within our domain of expertise. We can also help coordinate treatment to be rendered by other physicians, such as orthopedics, plastic surgeons, ENT surgeons, urologists, and oral surgeons. Our general surgeons are vital to the care of these patients who are victims of motor vehicle accidents.
