What Is General Surgery?

General surgeons commonly manage conditions involving the abdomen, digestive system, abdominal wall, hernia, thyroid, breast and other surgical areas.

Depending on the diagnosis, surgery may be performed using a conventional open approach or, where suitable, a minimally invasive laparoscopic technique. The appropriate approach is determined after clinical assessment and consideration of the patient's individual circumstances.
