The surgical field that focuses on the abdominal organs is general surgery. Despite having the word “general” in their title, general surgeons have extensive training in treating common abdominal problems such as appendicitis, hernias, gallbladder operations, and anomalies of the stomach and intestines.
The intestines, oesophagus, stomach, small bowel, colon, liver, pancreas, gallbladder, bile ducts, and thyroid glands are among the organs that can be treated surgically. They also care for skin, breasts, soft tissue, and hernia disorders. General surgeons can handle almost any surgical emergency. They frequently serve as the first point of contact for seriously ill or injured patients.
