摘要

abstract_textpThe earthquake in Haiti in January 2010 resulted in more than 220,000 deaths and over 300,000 injured and was one of the greatest mass casualties in recent history. "Doctors Without Borders" started a medical relief response immediately after the earthquake, building up to the biggest disaster relief activity in the organization's history. Roughly 173,000 medical consultations and more than 11,700 surgical interventions were performed in 26 medical facilities during the first 4 months. A particular challenge was the sheer number of patients in a situation with a completely destroyed medical infrastructure. While the initial phase mainly focused on life saving surgery, the second phase concentrated on reconstructive surgery of the extremities. Crucial for effective patient care is an ability to act early and employ surgical techniques which are adapted to the overall situation. The following article is a personal report of the early emergency response from the viewpoint of two orthopedic trauma surgeons, who have surgical careers in Germany and also frequently volunteer for "Doctors Without Borders"./p/abstract_text
