General Surgery

General surgery is a surgical specialty that focuses on abdominal contents including esophagus, stomach, small bowel, colon, liver, pancreas, gallbladder, appendix and bile ducts, and often the thyroid gland. They also deal with diseases involving the skin, breast, soft tissue, trauma, peripheral vascular surgery and hernias and perform endoscopic procedures such as gastroscopy and colonoscopy.

General surgeons not only perform surgeries for a wide range of common ailments, but are also responsible for patient care before, during, and after surgery. All surgeons need to start their training in general surgery; many then go on to focus on another specialty.

They are trained to perform a wide range of surgeries, from the very simple to the most complex. These surgeries can include:

• Appendectomy
• Breast surgery
• Colon and rectal surgery
• Esophageal surgery
• Gallbladder surgery
• Hernia repair
• Stomach surgery
• Thyroid surgery

General surgeons also perform endoscopic procedures such as colonoscopy and gastroscopy.

General surgeons are trained to manage a broad spectrum of diseases and injuries to almost any area of the body which requires surgery. They are also involved in the treatment of patients with multiple injuries, critically ill patients and those requiring complex surgery.

Our general surgeons are highly skilled and experienced in performing a wide range of surgeries. They are supported by a team of nurses, anesthetists, and other healthcare professionals who are committed to providing the highest quality care to our patients.

If you need surgery, your general surgeon will work with you to develop a treatment plan that is tailored to your individual needs. They will explain the procedure to you in detail and answer any questions you may have. They will also provide you with information on what to expect before, during, and after surgery.
