General Surgery

General surgery is a medical field that encompasses surgical procedures performed on various parts of the body. This area deals with the diagnosis, treatment, and management of diseases related to the digestive system, liver, gallbladder, pancreas, small and large intestines, thyroid gland, hernias, and various other organs. General surgery includes both emergency and elective surgical procedures.

Key areas covered by general surgery by our surgeon includes:

• Digestive System Surgery: Involves surgical procedures on digestive organs such as the stomach, intestines, esophagus, liver, and pancreas. For example, the surgical treatment of conditions like appendicitis, gastritis, ulcers, and intestinal obstructions falls under this category.

• Gallbladder Surgery: Typically involves laparoscopic removal of the gallbladder (cholecystectomy) due to issues like inflammation or gallstones.

• Thyroid Surgery: Includes the surgical treatment of conditions such as cysts, nodules, or cancer in the thyroid gland. This may involve total or partial removal of the thyroid gland.

• Abdominal Wall and Hernia Surgery: Involves the surgical repair of hernias such as inguinal and umbilical hernias. Hernia repairs are usually performed using open or laparoscopic techniques.

• Emergency Surgery: Involves rapid and effective surgical intervention for conditions such as trauma, bleeding, intestinal obstruction, and other urgent situations. General surgeons manage these types of emergency procedures.

• Oncological Surgery: Includes surgical procedures to remove cancerous tissues and treat tumors. Surgical options are determined based on the extent of tumor spread in cancer treatment.

• Laparoscopic Surgery: A minimally invasive technique performed through small incisions using specialized instruments, leading to faster recovery and less pain compared to traditional open surgery.

The aim of general surgery is to effectively treat diseases and injuries, improve organ functions, and support patients' overall health. General surgeons select surgical methods tailored to individual patient needs to achieve the best outcomes.
