General surgery, despite the name, is actually a surgical specialty. General surgeons not only perform surgeries for a wide range of common ailments, but are also responsible for patient care before, during, and after surgery. All surgeons must start their training in general surgery; many then go on to focus on another specialty.

General surgery has evolved significantly with the advent of new technologies. Today, many procedures that once required large incisions are now performed using minimally invasive techniques, such as:

• Laparoscopic Surgery (Keyhole Surgery): This involves using small incisions and specialized instruments with a camera to perform surgery inside the abdomen. It often leads to less pain, smaller scars, and faster recovery times
• Endoscopy: This technique uses a flexible tube with a camera (endoscope) to examine and perform minor procedures inside the body’s natural openings, such as the throat or rectum.

General surgeons are adept medical practitioners who perform a diverse range of surgical procedures. While their expertise spans multiple bodily systems, their central concentration lies in the alimentary canal (the digestive organs) and the abdominal cavity. They frequently serve as the initial point of contact for urgent surgical situations
