Emergency Surgery

Rapid response. Compassionate care. Trusted expertise.

Sudden abdominal emergencies, whether from trauma, a ruptured intestine, or a blocked bowel, require fast, expert intervention. At SAWNY, our general-surgery team is ready 24/7 at affiliated hospitals in the Western New York region to provide immediate, life-saving care when you need it most.

When Emergency Surgery May Be Needed

Circumstances that demand urgent surgical attention include traumatic injuries to the abdomen (from accidents or penetrating wounds), intestinal perforations (such as from a ruptured appendix or ulcer), and small-bowel obstructions. These conditions can quickly lead to bleeding, infection, tissue death, or circulatory collapse if not addressed promptly.

Our Process

When you arrive at the hospital, your condition will be evaluated swiftly: imaging, labs, physical exam, and surgical consultation. If surgery is needed, your surgeon may perform an open operation or a minimally invasive approach, depending on the situation. The goal is to remove damaged or obstructed tissue, restore normal anatomical flow, control bleeding or contamination, and proceed to recovery. After surgery, follow-up care includes pain management, monitoring for complications, support for nutrition, and guidance for returning to normal activity.

Personalized Support Through Crisis And Recovery

In a moment of crisis, you deserve more than technical skill; you deserve compassion, clarity, and a care team that treats you as a person with concerns, goals, and loved ones. Whether your situation is a workplace injury, a spontaneous rupture, or an accident, SAWNY supports patients through workers’ compensation cases, hospital care, and structured follow-up. When you’re ready to explore your options, even after an emergency, call us today or schedule your visit, and we’ll find the right care for you.
