GENERAL SURGERY

General Surgery is a broad medical specialty that focuses on the diagnosis, treatment, and surgical management of a wide range of conditions affecting different parts of the body. It commonly involves surgeries of the abdomen, including the stomach, intestines, liver, gallbladder, appendix, and hernias. General surgeons also manage conditions related to the skin, soft tissues, breast, thyroid, and minor trauma.

Common procedures include appendectomy, hernia repair, gallbladder surgery, abscess drainage, and treatment of wounds and infections. Patients may present with symptoms such as abdominal pain, swelling, bleeding, lumps, or digestive issues. Diagnosis is based on clinical examination, imaging tests like ultrasound or CT scans, and laboratory investigations. General surgery aims to treat disease effectively, relieve symptoms, prevent complications, and support faster recovery, helping patients return to normal daily life safely and confidently.
