Pattern of admissions in a general surgical unit was studied from January 1980 to July 1981. Of 1021 cases admitted 697 were non-emergency and 324 were emergency admissions. Trauma and Appendicitis were the most common surgical emergencies, whereas Hernias, Anorectal conditions and diseases of the Gall bladder were the most frequent non-emergency admissions. The length of hospital stay in relation with Hernia and Anorectal conditions is critically studied (JPMA 32:187, 1982).
