General & Laparoscopic surgery

The goal of General & Laparoscopic surgery is to treat problems with the gastrointestinal tract, including the oesophagus, stomach, small and large intestines, liver, pancreas, gallbladder, appendix, bile ducts, and frequently the thyroid gland. Along with performing endoscopic treatments like gastroscopy and colonoscopy, they also treat illnesses of the skin, breast, soft tissue, injuries, peripheral artery disease, and hernias.

When should I consult a general surgeon?

• When thinking about having weight-loss surgery: A common target for these procedures is the abdomen and its contents. These operations are often carried out by general surgeons.
• You need to see a doctor right away: Some injuries and wounds are so serious that patients need to have surgery right away. Emergency situations where general surgeons can help patients include resuscitation in the event of shock, internal bleeding, skin burns, an amputated limb, and intestinal obstruction or perforation.
• When preoperative and postoperative care are both necessary: The assessment and diagnosis of preoperative and postoperative problems is typically a specialty of general surgeons. Additionally, they are knowledgeable with wound healing, infection control, and pain treatment. These abilities help general surgeons provide the best care possible before to, during, and following operation.
