Urgent surgery — is a field that covers the urgent performance of operations for acute surgical conditions. In such situations, doctors promptly perform the necessary diagnostics, assess the patient's condition, and perform an emergency operation.
At «Oxford Medical», there is an emergency surgery department where urgent care is provided to patients with injuries and diseases that require urgent surgical intervention. Operations are performed by experienced surgeons in high-tech operating rooms equipped with expert-class equipment. For patients who require enhanced monitoring after the intervention, intensive care wards are provided with equipment for artificial lung ventilation and support of other vital functions of the body.
In acute surgical conditions, symptoms can intensify rapidly, so it is important not
to wait for them to pass.
Urgent medical attention is needed if:
severe or rapidly increasing abdominal pain suddenly developed;
repeated vomiting, pronounced bloating, or abdominal tension appeared;
the temperature increased against the background of severe pain or a sharp deterioration in well-being;
the passage of gas and stool has stopped, especially if pain and vomiting are present at the same time;
bleeding occurred, including vomiting blood or blood in the stool;
after an abdominal injury, severe pain, weakness, dizziness, or loss of consciousness appeared.
Doctors at «Oxford Medical» recommend that with such symptoms, you should not delay seeking medical attention and should not try to relieve severe pain on your own with large doses of painkillers. The patient needs an urgent examination by a surgeon, since the cause may be acute appendicitis, internal bleeding, organ perforation, or another condition in which delay increases the risk of complications.
«Oxford Medical» has its own emergency care service. A team can be called using the short number 2044. The ambulance travels to patients in all districts of Kyiv and the suburbs within a radius of up to 30 km and, if necessary, arranges hospitalization.
Emergency surgery is necessary when, without surgical intervention, the patient's condition may rapidly deteriorate and the risk of severe complications increases. The decision is made by an urgent care surgeon after examination and diagnostic testing.
Indications for urgent intervention may include:
Many acute conditions managed by general surgery require urgent intervention only when certain complications develop. Therefore, urgent operations are performed taking into account not only the diagnosis, but also the severity of the disorders, the course of the disease, and the patient's general condition.
The main task of emergency surgery — is to assess the patient's condition as quickly as possible, determine the cause of acute symptoms, and establish whether surgery is needed. Therefore, emergency care in surgery involves the simultaneous performance of the necessary diagnostics and measures to stabilize the patient's condition.
After the examination, the surgeon determines which tests are needed in this particular situation. If necessary, doctors provide pain relief, infusion therapy, correct blood loss, water-electrolyte balance disorders, and other dangerous changes.
If the condition requires surgical treatment, the operation is performed as soon as possible. In the case of a severe course of the disease or after a complex intervention, the patient may require further observation and treatment in the intensive care unit.
At «Oxford Medical», at 30B Berezniakivska St., the admissions department operates around the clock, where patients with acute conditions are provided with first medical aid and undergo an initial examination. Patients can come here on their own or call an emergency care team, which, if necessary, will transport the patient to the medical center.
For rapid diagnostics, the following are available around the clock:
If, after examination and diagnostic testing, indications for surgery are established, the patient is hospitalized in the 24-hour surgical inpatient department of «Oxford Medical», where surgical interventions are performed. Before the operation, the surgeon and anesthesiologist assess the examination results, the patient's condition, and the risks of anesthesia.
Doctors at «Oxford Medical» explain: in an urgent condition, preparation is carried out in a reduced scope. Only those examinations and measures that are necessary for the safe performance of the operation are carried out. This makes it possible not to lose time when delaying the intervention may worsen the patient's condition.
After urgent surgery, the duration and features of recovery depend on the severity of the condition, the extent of the intervention, and the presence of complications. If the patient's condition requires enhanced monitoring, the first stage of recovery takes place in an intensive care ward. After stabilization, the patient is transferred to the surgical inpatient department.
In the inpatient department, the patient is under the supervision of medical staff around the clock. On-duty surgeons and anesthesiologists monitor the course of recovery and, if necessary, adjust the treatment, while nurses provide the necessary care and carry out medical prescriptions.
Comfortable conditions for postoperative recovery have been created in the surgical inpatient department: single and double hotel-type rooms with a private bathroom are equipped. Patients can also order three meals a day, taking into account the postoperative diet and the doctor's recommendations.
The length of stay in the inpatient department is determined individually: after complex urgent operations or a severe course of the disease, the patient may require longer observation and recovery.
The cost of urgent surgery depends on the diagnosis, the complexity and extent of the intervention, as well as the type of anesthesia and the duration of the hospital stay. The exact amount is determined after examination and diagnostics, when it is clear what surgical treatment the patient needs.
You can review the current prices for medical services here in advance. To schedule a consultation or clarify the possibility of admission to the surgical inpatient department of «Oxford Medical», call the contact center at the number indicated on the website. You can call an ambulance at 2044.

An urgent operation — is a surgical intervention that is performed within a short period of time due to an acute condition or a high risk of complications. Before the operation, doctors perform the necessary diagnostics and stabilize the patient's condition as much as possible without dangerous delay.
An urgent care surgeon — is a doctor who provides care for acute surgical conditions, assesses the need for urgent intervention, and performs emergency operations. The surgeon works with patients for whom treatment cannot be delayed due to trauma, bleeding, perforation, inflammation, or another complication.
The main difference — is urgency. A planned operation is scheduled in advance after a complete examination and preparation. In an urgent condition, time is limited: diagnostics and preparation are carried out quickly, and the intervention is performed within the timeframe necessary to prevent deterioration of the condition or dangerous complications.
