Emergency General Surgery
Emergency General Surgery Services
Columbia Surgical Specialists - General Surgery provides urgent surgical care for acute conditions of the abdomen, including appendicitis, cholecystitis, and bowel obstructions. These conditions often develop suddenly and require prompt evaluation and treatment to prevent serious complications.
Our surgeons work closely with emergency department physicians and hospitalists to ensure rapid diagnosis and treatment. Evaluation typically includes a focused history and physical examination along with laboratory tests and imaging studies such as ultrasound or CT to confirm the diagnosis and guide treatment.
We offer both minimally invasive (laparoscopic or robotic) and open surgical approaches, tailored to each patient's condition. Minimally invasive techniques often result in smaller incisions, less pain, faster recovery, and reduced scarring.
