Surgical Emergencies | Manipal Hospitals Varthur Road, Bangalore

Surgical emergencies require immediate operative intervention to prevent life-threatening complications. Conditions such as acute appendicitis, perforated ulcers, intestinal obstructions, ruptured aneurysms, and severe trauma demand urgent diagnosis and surgical management. Delayed treatment can result in sepsis, internal bleeding, multi-organ failure, or fatal outcomes. Patients experiencing symptoms like severe abdominal pain, persistent vomiting, uncontrolled bleeding, or sudden loss of consciousness require immediate medical attention.

Emergency teams perform rapid clinical assessments, imaging studies (such as CT scans and ultrasounds), and preoperative stabilization to ensure the patient is ready for surgery. Fluid resuscitation, blood transfusions, and infection control measures are often necessary before the procedure. Advances in surgical techniques, including minimally invasive laparoscopic and robotic surgeries, improve patient outcomes by reducing recovery time and minimizing postoperative complications. In cases of significant trauma, damage control surgery is performed to stabilize life-threatening injuries before definitive surgical repair.

Key surgical emergencies and their treatments include:

  • Acute Appendicitis: Emergency appendectomy to remove the inflamed appendix and prevent rupture and sepsis

  • Perforated Peptic Ulcer: Immediate surgical repair to close the perforation and prevent peritonitis

  • Intestinal Obstruction: Surgical removal of the blockage or bowel resection in severe cases to restore normal digestive function

  • Ruptured Aneurysm: Emergency vascular surgery to repair the ruptured artery and prevent fatal internal bleeding

  • Severe Trauma and Internal Bleeding: Damage control surgery to stabilize bleeding, repair organs, and prevent shock

  • Bowel Perforation: Emergency surgery to close the perforation and prevent life-threatening infections

  • Ectopic Pregnancy Rupture: Immediate laparoscopic or open surgery to remove the ruptured pregnancy and control bleeding

Surgical emergencies require immediate operative intervention to prevent life-threatening complications. Conditions such as acute appendicitis, perforated ulcers, intestinal obstructions, ruptured aneurysms, and severe trauma demand urgent diagnosis and surgical management. Delayed treatment can result in sepsis, internal bleeding, multi-organ failure, or fatal outcomes.
