General Surgery

General surgery refers to the branch of medicine which incorporates use of manual procedures such as cutting, abrading and suturing to physically change body tissues or organs for the purpose of treating a disease or injury.

To treat a patient successfully through surgery, the specialist must assume the role of a leader. These specialists are primarily responsible for the patient's diagnosis, performing the operation and providing the patient with post-surgery medical care and treatment.

Diagnosing a symptom and treating a patient using the wrong treatment modality could have severe repercussions, especially when dealing with patients who experience unexplained symptoms such as lumps or bleeding.
