Emergency Surgery at Dignity Health Central Coast

Emergency surgery is nonelective, meaning you did not choose to have the surgery. Due to an unexpected injury or health condition, your emergency situation required our trauma surgeons to provide the care you need.

You may need emergency surgery to treat any of the following conditions:

  • Abdominal and gastrointestinal events — appendicitis, bowel obstructions, and gallbladder infections
  • Heart emergencies — heart attack, aortic dissection, and aneurysms
  • High-energy trauma — work- and sports-related injuries, falls, crush injuries, and car accidents
  • Lung conditions — pulmonary embolism (a blood clot in an artery going to your lung) and obstructions
  • Neurologic events — stroke and cerebral aneurysms
  • Penetrating trauma — gunshot and stab wounds
  • Severe burns — burns that cover up to 90 percent of your body
