The General Surgery Department is a medical specialty that deals with the diagnosis, treatment, and management of a wide range of surgical conditions. General surgeons are trained to perform surgeries on various parts of the body, including the gastrointestinal tract, liver, pancreas, gallbladder, thyroid gland, breast, and skin. The department is typically responsible for treating patients with conditions such as appendicitis, hernias, gallstones, and cancerous tumors. The surgeons in this department also perform emergency surgeries, such as trauma surgery, and are responsible for the pre-operative and post-operative care of patients.
General surgeons often work closely with other specialists, including anesthesiologists, radiologists, and oncologists, to provide comprehensive care for their patients. They may also collaborate with primary care physicians and other medical professionals to manage patients’ overall health.
In addition to performing surgeries, general surgeons may also provide non-surgical treatments such as endoscopic procedures, chemotherapy, and radiation therapy. They are also trained in the management of surgical complications and in the provision of critical care for patients in the post-operative period.
