Although facilities at many civilian centers far exceed those historically available to military neurosurgeons in the field, the principles derived from combat injuries continue to apply. It is hoped that there may be differences in salvageability at the margin owing to the availability of more sophisticated imaging and critical care monitoring techniques, neuroanesthesia, and the advent of possible pharmacologic neural salvage agents.
