The market encompasses a range of surgical procedures and services provided for acute and urgent conditions requiring immediate intervention.

The increasing number of insured individuals significantly influences the market. More people with health insurance are likely to seek prompt medical attention for urgent conditions.

This trend boosts demand for emergency surgeries and prompts healthcare providers to improve their services.
