Non-elective surgery is surgery which is not preplanned - i.e it is emergency surgery for immediately life threatening conditions such as appendicitis, heart-bypasses, surgery necessitated by someone having a stroke etc... As far as I'm aware, nobody has ever necessitated 'emergency' laser eye surgery, since eye diseases are not generally a direct cause of a person's death. (Although they can be indirect through instances such as accidents relating to poor eyesight).
