An academic conference became a matter of paramount importance at Sanbo Hospital.
After careful review and discussion within the hospital, and strongly advocated by Professor Zhang Zongshun, the hospital has granted full surgical privileges for trauma surgery to Yang Ping and Song Zimo.
That is, Yang Ping can now perform trauma surgeries on the spine, pelvic region, limbs, chest, abdomen, and cranium besides her usual operations.
Normally, chest injury surgery is performed by thoracic surgeons, abdominal injury surgery is performed by the departments of general surgery, urological surgery, and obstetrics and gynecology, and cranial trauma surgery is performed by neurosurgeons.
This division of labor is due to the specialization of different doctors and it's a global practice. However, some of the world's top trauma centers have begun to train comprehensive surgeons.
