What emergency surgery the most life – threatening as told by the doctors.
Doctors identified seven of the most dangerous to human life emergency operations.
During the research it became clear that the share of such operations account for 80% of urgent procedures, at the same time – 80% of the deaths and 79% of complications. The main danger of such a surgical intervention – it is the urgency of their conduct. When they are planning, the level of risk is significantly reduced. According to physicians the most risky operations connected with the stomach or intestines.
In the threat rating of emergency surgical interventions were:
• partial colectomy (removal of part of intestine);
• resection of the small intestine;
• cholecystectomy (removal of gall stones);
• treatment of gastric ulcers;
• removal of a peritoneal (abdominal) adhesions;
• appendectomy (removal of the inflamed Appendix);
• laparotomy (abdominal incision).
How would it not seem strange, but to the most risky operations were classified as operating e appendicitis, which is traditionally considered the simplest operation. Even among the threat of hit and removing stones from the gallbladder.
Not so long ago, another group of researchers found that patients who are subject to surgery at the weekend during the holidays often leave this life and face many complications.
Doctors such a negative conclusion associated with the fact that these days working in hospitals, fewer doctors, and it significantly increases the load on medical personnel. Thus proportionally increased the risk of committing errors or delays in the provision of emergency medical assistance.
Doctors echoed by officials from the medicine on weekends and holidays hospitals lack highly qualified specialists able to provide better quality medical care. But, however, there were cases, when on duty in public holidays, the doctors allowed themselves to relax and not entirely sober took up a scalpel. Unfortunately, in our country is still poorly developed system of charges in a non-professional medical help, which led to death of patients.
