General Surgery

General Surgery is an umbrella term that focuses on a broad spectrum of surgical procedures related to the abdomen and other organs, including the esophagus, liver, pancreas, digestive tract, head and neck, and blood vessels. General surgeons also treat patients injured in trauma who would need immediate life-saving surgical interventions besides performing various invasive and non-invasive diagnostic and treatment procedures like gastroscopy, colonoscopy, etc.

A general surgeon plays a crucial role in various operations for evaluating the patient, performing the surgery, and post-operative management. Overall, general surgery covers nine areas of medicine, including:

  • Digestive tract, including small and large intestines
  • Abdomen and its contents, including the esophagus, pancreas, and liver
  • Head and neck
  • Skin and soft tissue, breasts for oncological diagnostic procedures like biopsies
  • Heart and blood vessels
  • Endocrine procedures like thyroid gland
  • Surgical oncology
  • Surgical intervention to treat injuries caused by accidents
  • Surgical needs for terminally ill patients to alleviate symptoms

General surgery has undergone a tremendous transformation in recent years. With the advent of minimally invasive procedures, general surgeons are experts in performing various laparoscopic and endoscopic technique using smaller surgical tools fitted with tiny cameras for diagnostic and treatment methods.

Laparoscopy

Overview

Laparoscopy is a highly advanced, minimally invasive procedure performed by general surgeons. The surgeon makes small incisions up to 3 to 15 mm and accesses the affected area in the body through tiny, special surgical instruments guided by the camera that project the entire view from inside the body.
Laparoscopic procedures include appendectomy, repair of hernia, removal of gallbladders, colons, and tissue samples for biopsy, and a few bariatric procedures. The main advantages of Laparoscopic procedures are minimal blood loss, less scarring and wounds, and faster recovery.
Surgeries done through minimal access facilitate faster recovery of patients and would be able to resume their regular duties within few hours.
