Abstract

<p>　　In Japan, training trauma surgeons with experience in managing gunshot wounds is important ; however, acquiring such expertise domestically is challenging. The Chris Hani Baragwanath Academic Hospital in South Africa handles a high volume of trauma cases including gunshot wounds and stabbings. The hospital has established an educational system led by consultants and regularly hosts trainees from around the world. Our team completed a 4-week observation and an 11-week trauma surgery training program at the hospital. During the training, the trauma unit managed 1,187 patients, including 516 stabbing and 236 gunshot cases, and performed 321 surgeries, including 168 emergency laparotomies and 21 thoracotomies. The program offered comprehensive training encompassing resuscitation room management, surgeries, and postoperative care, while integrating trainees into the team. South Africa exemplifies excellence in trauma training, underscoring the significance of ongoing international partnerships.</p>
