There’s a MAJOR difference between these two types of surgery

.

Elective surgery = a surgical procedure that is less invasive in nature which may require local anesthesia or undergo “same-day” surgery; it is typically “scheduled in advance”

Some examples may include:

• Total knee replacement
• Superficial skin cell resections
• Rotator cuff repair
• Nerve ablations

.

Emergency surgery = an immediate surgical procedure that must be performed in order to preserve one’s life; it is NOT a scheduled surgery — it must occur immediately without schedule notice

Some examples may include:

• Cardiac stent implants
• Appendectomy
• Brain bleeds
• Sepsis
