The Traumaxilla
The purpose of this journal is to provide forum to report and communicate scientific literature owing to optimal care of trauma and critically ill surgical patients based on sound clinical evidence, along with highlighting standard operating procedures and practices that cover infection control, and sustenance in compromised environments for achieving satisfactory results.
Why the name, ‘The Traumaxilla’
‘The Traumaxilla’ is a portmanteau word arising from “Trauma” and “Maxilla”.
Trauma is a Greek word which means ‘Wound’ it’s been frequently used in multiple contexts as verb as noun and as adjective. Although it has been cited in physical terms, it can also be defined as a psychological, emotional response to an event or an experience that is deeply distressing or disturbing.
The maxilla, also known as the “Jaw”, is a vital structure of the viscera-cranium. It is involved in the formation of the orbit, nose and palate and lower third of the face, holds the teeth and plays an important role for respiration, mastication and communication.
The title is intended to represent the interrelation between different aspects of maxillofacial trauma and emergency care in specific and care for severely injured and critically ill surgical patients in general.
