GENERAL SURGERY

General Surgery Services

General surgery is a medical specialty focused on the diagnosis, treatment, and management of a wide range of conditions that may require surgical intervention. It encompasses both elective and emergency procedures involving various parts of the body, including the abdomen, digestive tract, endocrine system, breast, skin, and soft tissues.
General surgeons perform a wide range of surgical procedures, using both traditional open methods and advanced minimally invasive techniques such as laparoscopy. These procedures address both elective and emergency medical conditions across multiple body systems.
