What is Acute General Surgery?
Acute general surgery refers to urgent and unplanned operations that are performed to treat conditions that cannot wait. These problems develop suddenly and often progress quickly, so prompt diagnosis and surgery are vital. At Dr Vujcich’s acute care surgery Brisbane clinic, we streamline imaging, blood tests, and theatre access to minimise delays and prevent complications.
Common conditions treated through Dr Vujcich’s acute general surgery Brisbane service include:
Appendicitis and complicated appendiceal disease
Acute gallbladder disease, gallstones, and bile duct obstruction
Small- and large-bowel obstruction or volvulus
Perforated ulcers leading to peritonitis
Incarcerated or strangulated hernias
Severe skin or soft-tissue infections and abscesses
Gastrointestinal bleeding requiring surgical control
Not every condition requires immediate surgery. Sometimes close observation, antibiotics, or interventional radiology may be more appropriate. Dr Vujcich will ensure you are guided through these options so that you fully understand why a particular treatment is recommended.

Dr Elizabeth Vujcich: Your Acute General Surgery Surgeon
When you choose Dr Vujcich’s acute general surgery Brisbane service, you are in safe, experienced hands, guided by a highly respected acute general surgery surgeon known for her patient-focused approach. Patient safety, clear communication, and tailored care are at the centre of every procedure. You will receive a detailed explanation of your diagnosis, the surgery itself, and what to expect during recovery.
As a skilled acute general surgery surgeon, Dr Vujcich draws on decades of clinical experience to ensure every patient receives the highest standard of care. She collaborates with anaesthetists, radiologists, and specialist nursing staff to provide integrated treatment. Whenever possible, minimally invasive (laparoscopic) surgery is performed. This approach often results in:
Smaller incisions and less scarring
Reduced pain and faster mobilisation
Shorter hospital stays
Earlier return to daily activities
When open surgery is necessary, you will still benefit from meticulous technique and comprehensive post-operative support.
