Patients’ risk of emergency surgical disease and death after being treated with an emergent general surgical procedure remains an ongoing public health burden in the United States. 1 Emergency surgical disease accounts for 11% of all surgical admissions, with 7 operative procedures accounting for 80% of the total burden of disease. 2 The association of emergency surgery with high healthcare utilization and morbidity, including preventable postoperative complications and a $30 billion cost annually, suggests an opportunity to improve the value of surgical expenditures by shifting emergent to elective surgery or nonsurgical care. 3, 4An even more concerning issue is high mortality; emergency general surgical disease represents over 50% of all surgical mortality. 2 This results, in part, from the surgeon’s sole focus on tertiary prevention, that is, preventing mortality and disability among those undergoing emergency surgery, leaving a gap in primary and secondary prevention that could assist in preventing surgical disease and its progression toward emergency in the first place.
