TPMH was at that time a small hospital (120 beds) with a clinical staff of 17 situated in the south of Cyprus (Fig. 1).<\/jats:p>\n               <jats:p>The series comprises 71 patients injured by bullets, shrapnel, bomb-blasts or mines, drawn from British personnel, United Nations Forces and the local Cypriot military and civilian population, resulting from the coup d'\u00e9tat of 15 July 1974 and the subsequent Turkish invasion and air attacks.<\/jats:p>\n               <jats:p>The casualties were often severely wounded beyond the capabilities of the local hospitals. They were mostly admitted during a 2-week period, but many required multiple operations extending over the next 3 or 4 months, and altogether 119 operations were carried out on 41 patients at TPMH.<\/jats:p>\n               <jats:p>The organization of the limited resources of the medical, nursing and supporting staff is outlined.<\/jats:p>\n               <jats:p>The correct treatment of missile wounds is emphasized. Resuscitation, wound excision, splintage and delayed suture or grafting are essential. Minimal morbidity and mortality are gained by a practised approach to the compounded results of violence.<\/jats:p>","DOI":"10.1002\/bjs.1800630621","type":"journal-article","created":{"date-parts":[[2007,3,2]],"date-time":"2007-03-02T13:15:23Z","timestamp":1172841323000},"page":"482-487","source":"Crossref","is-referenced-by-count":2,"title":["A report on missile injuries in Cyprus 1974"],"prefix":"10.1093","volume":"63","author":[{"given":"C P","family":"Malpass","sequence":"first","affiliation":[{"name":"Princess Mary's Royal Air Force Hospital , Akrotiri, BFPO 53,","place":["Cyprus"]}],"role":[{"role":"author","vocabulary":"crossref"}]},{"given":"J S","family":"Winter","sequence":"additional","affiliation":[{"name":"Princess Mary's Royal Air Force Hospital , Akrotiri, BFPO 53,","place":["Cyprus"]}],"role":[{"role":"author","vocabulary":"crossref"}]}],"member":"286","published-online":{"date-parts":[[1976,6,1]]},"reference":[{"key":"2024101408555051500_bib1","first-page":"15","article-title":"A military surgical team in Belfast","volume":"56","author":"Boyd","year":"1975","journal-title":"Ann.
