The influence of the Battle of Jutland on plastic surgery.
Abstract
The Battle of Jutland was fought between the British and German fleets in the gray wastes of the North Sea in May 1916. Because the battle was fought close to English shores, burn victims fared better than previously had been possible. From the Battle of Jutland came major advances in the clinical care of the acutely injured, as well as new concepts of reconstruction after healing had taken place.
