General Surgery

General surgery is a type of surgery that deals with the internal organs, like the esophagus, stomach, small intestine, large intestine (colon), liver, pancreas, gallbladder, and bile ducts. Sometimes, it also involves the thyroid gland. General surgeons also treat issues with the skin, breasts, soft tissues, and hernias. General surgeons need to know about a wide range of diseases that might need surgery. They not only perform the surgery but also take care of patients before and after the operation. They can diagnose and treat many types of illnesses, especially those related to the abdomen and its connected organs.

A general surgeon is a physician who has received education and training in the diagnosis as well as the preoperative, surgical, and postoperative management of patients. Anatomy, emergency and acute care, immunology, metabolism, nutrition, pathology, physiology, shock and resuscitation, and wound healing are all essential skills in surgery. General surgery is a diverse profession in which a surgeon spends time in the operating room, office, emergency department, and intensive care unit. General surgical practice necessitates expertise in communication and collaboration, teaching and research, health care management, and ongoing professional growth. General surgeons practise a variety of surgeries, and the breadth of their education allows them to undertake a wide range of treatments in the course of their work.
