Emergency Surgeries
Emergency surgeries include all abdominal trauma cases
which need immediate attention and surgery.
-Perforation of the gastrointestinal tract
-Intestinal obstruction is the failure of the intestine
to pass contents a due to partial or complete blockage
of the bowel.
-Obstructed abdominal hernias can advance towards strangulation
since it is a medical disorder in which bowel is trapped
and blocked but feasible.
-Acute abdominal cases like acute appendicitis, acute
cholecystitis, etc.
Acute abdominal pain due to sudden swelling of the gallbladder
caused by gallstones causes acute cholecystitis
Acute appendicitis medically known as epityphlitis is
swelling of the appendix which requires removal through
surgery.
Elective Surgeries
- Thyroid surgeries like hemithyroidectomy, total thyroidectomy,
etc.

of the thyroid gland suspected of being cancerous. If
on removal of the nodule and further pathological investigation
it proves to be cancerous there is a complete thyroidectomy
which is a separate operation.
