Surgical emergencies in Ciudad Juárez
Appendicitis, severe infections, abscesses, and intussusception

Frequently asked questions
What should I do if I suspect appendicitis?
Do not take strong painkillers without evaluation or wait for it to “go away.” Seek care or the ER. Timely diagnosis prevents perforation and peritonitis.
Is every emergency done laparoscopically?
When it is safe and feasible, yes. Advanced infection or complex anatomy may require another technique. We decide based on findings.
Do you treat abscesses and soft-tissue infections?
Yes. Many abscesses need surgical drainage plus antibiotics. An undrained infection can worsen even with medication.
