Frequently Asked Questions

What does a general surgeon do?

A general surgeon is a medical specialist who performs surgeries on various parts of the body, especially the abdomen, digestive tract, skin, soft tissues, and sometimes the endocrine system. They handle both emergency and planned procedures.

What are the common types of general surgery?

Common procedures include appendectomy (removal of the appendix), hernia repair, gallbladder removal (cholecystectomy), bowel surgery, and treatment of skin lumps or infections.

When should I see a general surgeon?

You may be referred to a general surgeon if you have conditions like persistent abdominal pain, hernias, gallstones, tumors, or need evaluation for a possible surgical issue.

Is general surgery performed using minimally invasive techniques?

Yes, many general surgeries today use laparoscopic (keyhole) or robotic techniques, which offer smaller incisions, faster recovery, and less pain compared to open surgery.

What should I expect before general surgery?

You will undergo a pre-surgical evaluation, which may include blood tests, imaging, and a discussion about anesthesia, risks, and recovery. You’ll also receive instructions on fasting and medications.
