The terrorist attack of 11 March tested the response of the Plastic Surgery Department of our center to respond to a mass casualty event. The work performed in the first few hours continued with the same intensity for several days because some patients required more than one intervention and because we were called on by other services to attend patients who could not be evaluated in the Emergency Department. In the present article, we describe the distribution of work and the types of injury produced by terrorist explosions.
