The issue of emergency surgery arises in cases of severe, critical conditions that threaten life and health and require immediate diagnosis and surgery.
Emergency surgery is performed on an emergency or urgent basis, in peacetime or wartime.
Emergency surgery is usually performed using specialized technologies, such as resuscitation and intensive care, and other instrumental and laboratory parameters, if necessary. This allows the doctor to accurately determine the nature of the disorder and provide appropriate emergency surgical care. Special equipment allows performing emergency surgical interventions with minimal damage to surrounding tissues (endoscopically, laparoscopically or laparotomically), in particular, single-incision laparoscopic surgery (SILS).
Timely and properly provided emergency surgical care allows patients to return to normal life and maintain or restore its quality.
If needed, our doctors provide consultations not only in Ukraine but also worldwide, both at our clinic in Kyiv and online through prior appointments. Comprehensive diagnostics, treatment, and prevention are offered.

- remove other items (contact lenses, hearing aids, jewelry, etc.) to prevent accidental injury to the body and to prevent them from getting damaged
- remove cosmetics (makeup, nail polish, false nails) from the body to facilitate visual assessment of the body's condition and automated registration with medical equipment

installs a catheter to administer the necessary drugs, places electrodes on the body to monitor the electrical activity of the heart, puts a blood pressure cuff on the shoulder and a sensor on the finger to determine the oxygen content in the blood. All this is necessary for continuous monitoring of the body's condition during anesthesia and surgery.
the area of the body where the intervention is performed, and the specifics of the chosen surgical tactics, technique, etc
