%X Provision of initial surgery to casualties within one hour of injury is associated with better survival. Where evacuation options are limited, surgery within the ˇ°golden hourˇ± may have to occur close to the point of injury. Interventions close to the point of injury are limited by the adverse environment. Far-forward surgery has a long history going back to Dominique Larrey of the Napoleonic Army.
