General surgery, despite its name, is a surgical specialty. General surgeons are in charge of patient care before, during, and after surgery and performing treatments for various common ailments. All surgeons must begin their training in general surgery; many then specialize in another field. Despite the name, general surgeons are highly competent surgeons who frequently operate on common abdominal ailments such as appendicitis, hernias, gallbladder procedures, and stomach and intestinal difficulties.

General surgeons may also care for critically sick patients and trauma victims. In many countries, training begins after completing a primary degree in medicine and lasts at least 5 years. This emphasis on the abdomen is not absolute because general surgeons may specialize in a type of surgery, such as treating cancer or burns, that necessitates the surgeon’s ability to conduct treatments on many body parts.

Most general surgeons are now conversant with minimally invasive procedures such as laparoscopy. Laparoscopic operations use significantly smaller instruments, such as tiny cameras that let the surgeon look within your body. Because of these specialized devices, the surgeon may dramatically make more minor cuts than in standard surgeries. General surgeons practice a wide range of surgical operations, and the breadth of their education allows them to undertake a wide range of procedures during their work.
