General Surgery

General surgery is a comprehensive medical field that deals with surgical interventions for various organs and systems in the body. General surgeons perform a wide range of surgical procedures covering many structures and systems such as abdominal cavity, digestive system, circulatory system, endocrine organs such as liver, pancreas, thyroid, skin, soft tissues and breast.

These specialists are involved in both emergency and planned surgical interventions. They perform emergency surgical interventions in cases such as appendicitis, gallbladder inflammation, stomach and intestinal problems, as well as planned treatment of diseases such as cancer surgery, hernia repairs and thyroid operations. Detailed examinations, blood tests, ultrasonography, tomography and endoscopic examinations are used for diagnosis.

General surgery specialists evaluate the health status of patients, make the diagnosis, explain the treatment options and plan and implement the necessary surgical intervention. They also support the patient's recovery process by closely following the preoperative and postoperative care processes. Therefore, the field of general surgery is of vital importance in terms of protecting the health and quality of life of patients.
