Accident Injury General Surgery in NJ

Surgery can be a very scary experience. Whether it’s exploratory to check things out, or more critical, Sall Myers Medical Associates has the surgeon you need on staff and in house. You don’t need to see us, and then go somewhere else for a surgeon you don’t know and have never met.

Although “general” surgery implies something to the contrary, a general surgeon focuses mainly on the abdominal region and organs. Symptoms of abdominal trauma from a car accident include:

  • Bruising along the lap portion of the seatbelt
  • Nausea and vomiting
  • Blood in the urine
  • Painful, tender, or rigid organs when touched

Seatbelts are often the cause of many auto accident injuries. Although they protect from head and chest trauma, they often compress or displace internal organs upon impact. Children are especially prone to these types of safety belt injuries, as they are generally too small for the belts to fit properly. They also have a softer abdominal region than fully matured adults.

Exploratory surgery

Exploratory surgery is performed to diagnose a problem or issue, rather than to go in and fix it. Often, this type of surgery is laparoscopic. This type of surgery is performed with a camera placed in the abdomen, which allows for minimally invasive procedures, smaller incisions, and faster healing time.
