General surgery is a medical specialty that deals with the surgical treatment of a wide variety of diseases and conditions. General surgeons are experts in the evaluation, diagnosis, and management of common surgical problems, such as appendicitis, hernias, gastrointestinal diseases, thyroid diseases, and gallbladder diseases. Using modern and advanced techniques, general surgeons perform surgical interventions to treat these conditions, either through traditional open procedures or minimally invasively using laparoscopy.
In addition to elective surgery, general surgeons are also trained to perform emergency surgeries, such as management of abdominal trauma and serious injuries. General surgery is based on a comprehensive approach to patient care, which implies collaboration with other medical specialists and postoperative follow-up. General surgeons have extensive knowledge of anatomy, physiology, and surgical principles, which allows them to provide comprehensive and safe medical care to their patients, with the goal of improving their quality of life and promoting recovery.
