A field which continues to be high in professional and public demand is general surgery ensuring bright and fulfilling careers as a general surgeon.The knowledge and technical skill set requirement has led to surgeons specializing in particular anatomical areas of the body or in a particular technique of surgery as per modern surgery development. For the benefit of the surgical patient, general surgery continues to reinvent and modernize itself due to the "cutting edge" technology.
The surgical speciality which focuses on the abdominal region including stomach, small bowel, colon, pancreas, gallbladder, liver, appendix, bile duct, oesophagus and thyroid gland is known as general surgery.
The speciality also deals with conditions which include breast, trauma, skin, soft tissue, hernia and peripheral vascular surgery and endoscopic procedures like gastroscopy and colonoscopy can be performed. In any surgical emergency, the general surgeon must be capable enough to handle it initially. Usually, for critically ill or very gravely injured patient, a general surgeon is the first point of call. They must be able to do a variety of procedures to normalize and stabilize such patients. They may be called to be staffs in the trauma intensive care unit or surgical intensive care unit. The general surgeon is usually well trained in any emergency surgery. The main problems they handle are bleeding, perforation or obstruction.
Due to advanced technology and high-precision tech instrumentation, minimally invasive laparoscopic technique is opted instead of a major abdominal surgery because it reduces pain, reduces cost with good outcomes, and accelerates recuperation. Treatment options have been redefined due to surgical research for disease processes as immunology and genetics with being specific to individual patients, better understanding the ethology and progression of the disease.
