document: Telemedicine in the management of a cervical dislocation by a mobile neurosurgeon Neurosurgical teams , who are normally located in specialist centres , frequently use teleradiology to make a decision about the transfer of a patient to the nearest neurosurgical department . This decision depends on the type of pathology , the clinical status of the patient and the prognosis . If the transfer of the patient is not possible , for example because of an unstable clinical status , a mobile neurosurgical team may be used . We report a case which was dealt with in a remote French military airborne surgical unit , in the Republic of Chad . The unit , which provides health-care to the French military personnel stationed there , also provides free medical care for the local population . It conducts about 100 operations each month . The unit comprises two surgeons -LRB- an orthopaedic and a general surgeon -RRB- , one anaesthetist , two anaesthetic nurses , one operating room nurse , two nurses , three paramedics and a secretary . The civilian patient presented with unstable cervical trauma . A mobile neurosurgeon operated on her , and used telemedicine before , during and after surgery
