Surgery at 3 General Hospital

The majority of the wounded admitted to 3 General Hospital had already had wound suture performed at 1 General Hospital, Senigallia. Fractured femurs, however, were especially sent to Bari for wound suture. The closure of colostomies was also carried out when possible. Foreign bodies were also removed in some of the chest cases.
