General surgery is a medical specialty that involves the surgical treatment of a wide range of diseases, injuries, and conditions. It includes procedures on the abdomen, breast, skin, soft tissues, and digestive tract, among others.

Here are some common topics in general surgery:

• Appendectomy: An appendectomy is the surgical removal of the appendix. The appendix is a small, finger-shaped organ attached to the large intestine. When it becomes infected or inflamed, it can cause abdominal pain and other symptoms.


• Hernia repair: A hernia occurs when an organ or tissue protrudes through a weakened area in the muscle or tissue that surrounds it. Surgery may be required to repair the hernia and prevent further complications.

These are just a few of the many topics that fall under the umbrella of general surgery. The field of general surgery is constantly evolving, with new techniques and procedures being developed all the time.

Gallbladder surgery

The gallbladder is a small organ that stores bile produced by the liver. Gallbladder surgery may be required to treat gallstones or other conditions that affect the gallbladder.
