What is General Surgery?
General surgery is recommended for patients in the case where medication cannot prove to be effective for the treatment of the ailments. The general surgery may include routine and simple procedures performed by a physician such as vasectomy, or even complicated operative procedures that require skilled medical team in a proper operation theatre, such as laparoscopic cholecystectomy (removal of the gallbladder).
General surgery is a surgical specialty that focuses on abdominal contents including the esophagus,
stomach, small intestine, large intestine, liver, pancreas, gallbladder, appendix and bile ducts, and often the thyroid gland. They also deal with diseases involving the skin, breast, soft tissue, trauma, peripheral artery disease and hernias and perform endoscopic procedures such as gastroscopy and colonoscopy.
Laparoscopic surgery offers several advantages to the patients as against the traditional surgeries like…
Reduced blood loss, diminishing the risk of needing a blood transfusion
Smaller incision, lesser pain and faster recovery time
Early discharge from hospital, often on the same day of the procedure
Less risk of acquiring infections by controlling the exposure of internal organs to possible external contaminants
