Surgical Aspects of Space Medicine

Although the perception of surgery in space may appear obscure, it is vital to initiate planning early if new frontiers in space travel are to be accomplished. Conditions necessitating surgery in space are rare, but they are challenging in their management. Telemedicine can allow consultation and in...
