What is the difference between surgery and general surgery?

Surgery is a broad medical field that includes various specialized procedures performed on different parts of the body. General surgery, however, focuses on abdominal organs, soft tissues, and other essential structures, including the digestive system, skin, and endocrine glands. General surgeons perform a wide range of procedures, including hernia repairs, gallbladder removal, and gastrointestinal surgeries.

Why would you be referred to a general surgeon?

A referral to a general surgeon is typically made when a condition requires surgical intervention that cannot be treated through medication or non-invasive methods. Common reasons include hernia repair, gallbladder disease, thyroid conditions, tumors, and gastrointestinal issues. General surgeons specialize in diagnosing, treating, and managing various surgical conditions to ensure optimal patient outcomes.
