General Surgery

One of the primary areas of expertise within the General Surgery Department is abdominal surgery. This includes surgeries related to the gastrointestinal tract, such as appendectomies, cholecystectomies (gallbladder removal), hernia repairs, bowel resections, and surgeries for conditions like gastric ulcers or inflammatory bowel disease. General surgeons also perform procedures involving the liver, pancreas, spleen, and other abdominal organs.

The department also addresses surgical needs related to the breast and endocrine system. General surgeons are trained in performing breast biopsies, lumpectomies, mastectomies, and reconstructive surgeries for breast cancer patients. They also manage thyroid and parathyroid disorders, including thyroidectomies for thyroid nodules or cancers and parathyroidectomies for hyperparathyroidism.

Furthermore, the General Surgery Department handles trauma and emergency surgical cases, such as appendicitis, traumatic injuries, perforated bowel, acute abdomen, and other surgical emergencies. The expertise of general surgeons in managing critical conditions and performing urgent surgeries contributes significantly to saving lives and ensuring timely interventions for patients in need of emergency surgical care.

In addition to surgical procedures, the General Surgery Department provides preoperative evaluations, postoperative care, and follow-up appointments to monitor patients’ recovery progress. The department collaborates closely with other specialties, including anesthesia, radiology, oncology, and intensive care units, to ensure comprehensive and coordinated care for surgical patients throughout their treatment journey.

Overall, the General Surgery Department plays a crucial role in addressing surgical needs across various medical conditions, providing high-quality surgical interventions, and promoting optimal outcomes for patients requiring surgical care.
