Emergency Surgery
Emergency Surgery in Bangalore | Advanced Surgical Care at Manipal Hospitals
Emergency surgery is critical for addressing life-threatening conditions that require immediate intervention. Indications for such surgeries include internal bleeding, severe organ injuries, or acute abdominal issues that could lead to significant complications if not treated promptly.
Common procedures performed in emergency situations include:
-
Emergency laparotomy: This procedure is used for abdominal trauma to assess and repair injuries to internal organs. It involves making a large incision in the abdominal wall to gain access to the abdominal cavity. Surgeons then examine and treat any damage to organs such as the intestines, liver, and spleen.
-
Craniotomy: Performed for head injuries to relieve pressure on the brain or repair damaged tissues. The procedure involves removing a portion of the skull to access the brain. Surgeons then address issues like blood clots, fractures, or swelling, and the bone flap is typically replaced after the procedure.
-
Thoracotomy: This involves opening the chest cavity and is often used to treat chest trauma. The procedure provides access to the heart and lungs, allowing surgeons to repair damage such as bleeding, lung lacerations, or heart injuries. This is a critical intervention for severe chest injuries.
These emergency surgical interventions are essential for stabilizing patients, controlling bleeding, and preventing further injury or deterioration. Timely and effective surgical care can significantly improve outcomes in critical situations.
