Types of Abdominal Emergencies and Their Treatment – By Dr. Karan R Rawat, Leading Gastro Surgeon and Emergency Abdominal Specialist in Agra
The human abdomen houses some of the most vital organs—liver, stomach, intestines, pancreas, gall bladder, appendix, and more. Any sudden issue in these organs can lead to abdominal emergencies, requiring urgent diagnosis and surgical or medical intervention. Delay can result in serious complications, even life-threatening situations.
Dr. Karan R Rawat, a highly reputed Gastro Surgeon, Emergency Abdominal Specialist, and Laparoscopic Surgeon in Agra, brings years of expertise in managing a wide range of abdominal emergencies with precision, speed, and compassion.
