About the Specialty
What Is General Surgery?
General surgery focuses on the diagnosis and surgical treatment of conditions affecting the digestive system, abdominal organs, thyroid, breast, skin and soft tissues.
Many procedures can be performed using minimally invasive or laparoscopic techniques. These techniques may reduce incision size, hospital stay and recovery time when they are medically appropriate.
The final procedure is selected by the treating surgeon after reviewing your medical history, examinations, imaging and laboratory results.
