General surgeons perform appendectomy, hernia repair, cholecystectomy (gallbladder removal), thyroidectomy, breast surgery, skin and soft tissue excisions, laparoscopic procedures, and emergency surgery for conditions like bowel obstruction or trauma.
Surgery is recommended when a condition cannot be resolved with medications alone, such as appendicitis, gallstones causing symptoms, hernias that are enlarging or painful, tumors requiring removal, or when diagnostic procedures indicate that surgical intervention offers the best outcome.
Laparoscopic surgery is a minimally invasive technique using small incisions and a camera to guide the procedure. Advantages include less pain, shorter hospital stay, faster recovery, smaller scars, and reduced risk of infection compared to traditional open surgery.
Preparation includes fasting as instructed, stopping certain medications like blood thinners as advised, arranging post-operative help at home, completing pre-operative tests like blood work and ECG, and discussing anesthesia options with your surgical team.
General risks include bleeding, infection, adverse reactions to anesthesia, blood clots, and injury to nearby organs. Your surgeon will discuss procedure-specific risks and take steps to minimize them through pre-operative evaluation and careful surgical technique.
