General surgery is a medical specialty focused on diagnosing and treating conditions that require surgical intervention — especially those related to the abdomen, digestive tract, thyroid, skin, and soft tissue. General surgeons are trained in a broad range of procedures and often collaborate closely with other specialists to deliver safe, coordinated care before, during, and after surgery.
You may be referred to a general surgeon if your condition involves a structural issue that requires surgical treatment, such as gallstones, hernias, or appendicitis.
