FAQs

What is a Surgeon?

A general surgeon is a medical doctor who specialises in diagnosing and treating a wide range of surgical conditions. This type of doctor has completed specialised training in surgery and is qualified to perform surgical procedures on many different body parts.

General surgeons may treat various conditions, including appendicitis, hernias, gallbladder disease, and breast cancer.

Some of the specific tasks that a general surgeon may perform include:

  • Performing physical examinations and ordering tests, such as imaging studies, to diagnose surgical conditions
  • Developing and implementing treatment plans for patients with surgical conditions
  • Prescribing medication to manage symptoms and treat surgical conditions
  • Advising patients on lifestyle changes that can help improve their surgical health, such as changes to their diet and exercise habits
  • Performing surgical procedures to diagnose and treat surgical conditions
  • Providing post-surgical care, such as wound management and pain management, to help patients recover from surgery.

Overall, the primary role of a general surgeon is to provide expert care for patients with surgical conditions and to help them maintain good surgical health.

Common procedures performed by a Surgeon

General surgeons are trained to perform a wide range of surgical procedures. Some of the most common procedures performed by a general surgeon include:

  • Appendectomy: This is a surgical procedure in which a general surgeon removes the appendix (a small, tube-shaped organ attached to the large intestine). An appendectomy is typically performed to treat appendicitis (inflammation of the appendix).

  • Hernia repair: This is a surgical procedure in which a general surgeon fixes a hernia (a bulge or protrusion of an organ or tissue through the wall of the cavity that usually contains it). Hernia repair can treat inguinal hernias, femoral hernias, and hiatus hernias, among others.

  • Cholecystectomy: This is a surgical procedure in which a general surgeon removes the gallbladder (a small, pear-shaped organ that stores bile). A cholecystectomy is typically performed to treat gallstones or gallbladder disease.

  • Mastectomy: This is a surgical procedure in which a general surgeon removes all or part of the breast. A mastectomy can be used to treat breast cancer or to prevent it in high-risk individuals.

  • Colon resection: This is a surgical procedure in which a general surgeon removes part of the colon (the large intestine). A colon resection can treat colon cancer, diverticulitis, and inflammatory bowel disease.

These are just a few examples of the many procedures that a general surgeon may perform. Each patient's needs are different, and the specific procedures performed by a general surgeon will depend on the individual circumstances of each patient.
