Four Long Island Plastic Surgical Group (LIPSG) surgeons are traveling to Haiti to assist in the medical relief effort following the devastating earthquake. Two weeks after the quake, many victims are at risk of needing amputations due to untreated infections. LIPSG surgeons, experts in wound management, will focus on treating these wounds with the goal of avoiding amputation.

We just took care of a woman who had been under the rubble for four days. Our main goal is to save her from further amputation as she has already had two toes amputated.

We arrived at the Good Samaritan Hospital at 7:30 AM and have been operating non-stop. We’ve had 6 cases so far. There are lots and lots and lots of horrible wounds. However, we continue to be lifted by the great spirit of camaraderie between all the doctors and nurses.
3:01 AM
We arrived safely in the Dominican Republic, and we’re now driving toward the Haitian border in pitch black, escorted every once in a while by stray dogs and the flashing lights of trucks in the opposing lane. We hope to make it to the Good Samaritan Hospital by 8am as we already have four patients scheduled for surgery.
