General Surgery
Overview
General surgery is a surgical specialty that encompasses procedures on the abdomen, breast, head and neck, and blood vessels. It includes some of the most common procedures you might need in your life, including elective surgeries.
Some of the most common general surgical procedures include:
- GERD treatment
- Bariatric surgery
- Hernia repair
- Removal of gallbladder, prostate, spleen, uterus, or appendix
- Exploratory surgeries, such as laparotomy or laparoscopy
- Breast procedures, such as biopsy and lumpectomy
Many of these surgical procedures are performed with minimally invasive methods, allowing you to go home the same day in some cases.
