Urology/urogynecology medical readiness training exercise: experience for the military surgeon.

Abstract:

:A medical readiness training exercise was conducted in conjunction with Task Force Bravo in Honduras during July and August 2000. Surgical teams from Madigan Army Medical Center performed 46 major pelvic reconstructive surgical procedures and treated more than 300 patients. The mission was an exceptional training opportunity for Army Medical Department personnel, who performed complex surgical procedures with limited logistical support under austere surgical conditions. Team members gained invaluable experience in mobilization preparedness and tested their predeployment training and resourcefulness while providing needed services to the people of the host nation.
