Abdomen

Appendicitis, pancreatitis, cholecystitis, diverticulitis and perforation of the gastrointestinal tract are common abdominal pathologies that require immediate surgical attention. These surgical problems usually share the complaint of abrupt onset agonizing abdominal pain and usually not amenable to regular painkillers. Immediate surgical consultation is necessary to rectify these conditions as delay presentation can lead to the development of complications and worse mortality.
