An illustration showing a variety of wounds from the Feldbuch der Wundarznei (Field manual for the treatment of wounds) by Hans von Gersdorff, (1517); illustration by Hans Wechtlin.

Battlefield medicine, also called field surgery and later combat casualty care, is the treatment of wounded combatants and non-combatants in or near an area of combat.

Civilian medicine has been greatly advanced by procedures that were first developed to treat the wounds inflicted during combat.

Battlefield medicine is a category of military medicine.
