More about Dr. Lekawa »

Q. Is acute care surgery only available to me in the emergency department?

A. No. The ACS team is available to assist with surgical emergencies throughout the hospital. If a routine medical or surgical problem develops into an urgent surgical problem while the patient is in the hospital, the ACS team is available 24/7 to assist in their care. This may be an important consideration when deciding where to get your non-emergent care.
