General Surgery

General surgery is a medical specialty that focuses on performing surgical procedures to treat a wide range of conditions affecting various parts of the body. General surgeons are trained to operate on areas including the abdomen, digestive system, skin, soft tissues, and, in some cases, the breast and thyroid. They commonly perform procedures like appendectomies, hernia repairs, gallbladder removals, and surgeries for conditions like tumors, bowel obstructions, and ulcers. In addition to performing surgeries, general surgeons also provide preoperative and postoperative care, managing patient recovery and addressing complications that may arise. Their work is crucial in both emergency and elective surgeries, making them essential in hospitals and healthcare settings.
