What is
General Surgery?

A general surgeon focuses on a medical speciality encompassing the surgical treatment of a wide range of issues involving the abdomen, digestive tract, endocrine system, breast, skin, and blood vessels.

This typically includes procedures like appendectomies, hernia repairs, and thyroid surgeries. General surgeons are also trained to handle emergencies involving acute abdominal problems and injuries.
