Emergency general surgery is performed when a patient presents with a critical condition that requires immediate surgical intervention. The process typically begins with a rapid evaluation, including physical examinations, labs, and necessary imaging, like x-rays, CT scans, or ultrasounds to accurately diagnose the urgent issue. Once the diagnosis is confirmed, the patient may be prepared for surgery, often with little to no delay. The surgical team works quickly to administer anesthesia and perform the surgery, focusing on resolving the acute problem while minimizing risks and complications.

Emergency general surgery offers several critical benefits, primarily centered around rapid response to life-threatening conditions. Here are the key advantages:

  • Prompt treatment of acute conditions
  • Reduction in complications
  • Improvement in outcomes
  • Access to specialized care
  • Comprehensive care

I definitely recommend Dr. Kaan, PA Montana Merrick, and the whole office with 5 stars. I had my gallbladder taken out, and they were super kind and nice, very professional, and knowledgeable about the whole process from start to finish. I felt taken care of and comfortable with asking questions. Thanks again!

Dr Kaan and his staff are awesome to work with as they are very professional, courteous, respectful and thoroughly go over the process with you when having surgery. They answer all your questions and make you feel at ease. The post op follow up visit after surgery with PA Merrick was also outstanding. PA Merrick listens to any and all concerns you have post op and addresses your concerns carefully and fully with knowledgeable responses.

Dr. Kaan recently took a cyst off the back of my knee. It has healed up nicely. From my first appointment to my post-op, he was absolutely incredible. He was kind, friendly and patient with me as I asked all my questions and concerns. He has great bed side manner and has a good sense of humor. His staff were very professional and friendly as well. I highly recommend him and his practice at Mountain West Surgical Specialists for any general surgery needs.
