From left, Dr. Mark Cumberbatch, primary hospital general surgeon, U.S. Air Force Staff Sgt. Jamie Rose Buama, 349th Medical Squadron surgical technologist, and U.S. Air Force Lt. Col. Devin Watson, 349th Medical Squadron vascular surgeon, perform arteriovenous (AV) fistula surgery on a dialysis patient during the Lesser Antilles Medical Team (LAMAT) 25 mission at Modern Medical & Diagnostic Center, Georgetown, Saint Vincent, March 17, 2025. An AV fistula placement is a surgically created connection between an artery and a vein, used as a preferred vascular access for dialysis in patients with kidney disease. LAMAT facilitates mutual knowledge exchange and collaboration with local healthcare providers by embedding U.S Air Force medical personnel within host nation hospitals and clinics and maintains military readiness.
