Trauma surgery is a surgical specialty that uses both operative and non-operative management to treat traumatic injuries primarily in the acute setting. NYC Health + Hospitals/Bellevue is an American College of Surgeons-verified Level 1 Adult Trauma Center. Our trauma surgeons and surgical specialists have the expertise to manage all types of injuries anywhere in the body. In addition, all of our trauma surgeons have additional training and American Board of Surgery-certification in surgical critical care, which involves the management in an intensive care unit of patients with acute, life-threatening (or potentially life-threatening) conditions following injury or complex surgery.
