General Surgeon :
General surgeon is a surgeon who specializes in doing surgeries to treat multiple health conditions which may include surgery on the abdomen, digestive tract, skin, soft tissues, and sometimes breast, thyroid, or hernia. Most common surgical cases that general surgeons deal with are appendectomy that involves the removal of appendix, hernia repair, gallbladder removal, tumor removal, and many more. They are well trained to handle both emergency and elective surgeries and ensure that the patient is stable before and after the procedure. A general surgeon first does their MBBS and followed by a masters degree in General Surgery. When patient visits a general surgeon, they first examine the condition and then posts the patient for surgery if he or she is physically fit. They explain the process, risks involved, and steps that would be required to follow pre and post-operatively. After surgery they monitor your healing, discuss complications which might occur, and provide guidelines for home care. General surgeons do play an essential role in the treatment of conditions requiring surgical intervention.
