General Surgery

What is General Surgery?

General surgery is a specialised field that encompasses a broad range of surgical procedures related to the treatment of abdominal organs, including the stomach, liver, gallbladder, colon, bile ducts, intestines, and thyroid gland.

In addition to these areas, general surgeons also provide services in trauma surgery, transplant surgery, breast surgery, colorectal surgery, and vascular surgery. Despite the use of the term "general," these surgeons are highly skilled in a variety of specialised procedures, and they are responsible for providing comprehensive care to patients from the initial consultation to post-operative follow-up.
