%X Aim: Emergency anesthesia is the anesthesia procedure applied during an unplanned surgery. Determination of emergency surgery profile of a province will allow surgeons to be ready for possible cases, and for the patients to be operated in better conditions. Aim of this study was to determine frequency and distribution of surgeries performed after admission to emergency clinic in Adiyaman province. Method: Patients who had emergency surgery at operating theater of Adiyaman University Research and Education Hospital between 01.01.2014 and 31.12.2014 were retrospectively evaluated. Age, sex, diagnosis, operating clinic, anesthesia method applied, and date of surgery were recorded. Data were evaluated using SPSS 21.0 package program. A p value £¿0,05 was accepted as statistically significant. Results: Data of a total of 583 patients were evaluated. Among them 370 (63,5%) were males and the rest were females. The branches that most commonly performed surgeries were general surgery, pediatrics, orthopedics, and brain surgery. Anesthesia was applied by endotracheal intubation in 96.4%, laryngeal mask (LMA) in 1.2%, spinal anesthesia in 2.2%, and regional intravenous anesthesia (RIVA) in 0.2% of the patients. Evaluation of seasonal variation of emergency operations revealed that the cases were most common in summer and least common in winter. Conclusion: In Adiyaman province emergency surgeries were ¡Ý500/year. The branches that most commonly performed surgeries were general surgery, pediatrics, orthopedics, and brain surgery.
