General Surgeons also perform elective, outpatient surgery in hospitals and outpatient surgery centers.
Common General Surgical procedures include the removal of small lumps or skin nodules and the drainage of abscesses.
General Surgery encompasses surgery of the entire GI tract, biliary system, and spleen.
General Surgeons operate on both benign and malignant diseases of the breast, colon, and of the endocrine and integumentary systems.
General Surgeons do breast biopsies, lumpectomies, and cancer operations.
General Surgeons remove gallbladders for patients with gallstones and perform stomach surgery to remove cancers and to treat bleeding ulcers.
General Surgeons also repair hernias of the groin and of the abdominal wall.
General Surgeons also treat all diseases of the colon and rectum, including colon cancer, diverticulitis, intestinal blockages, and hemorrhoids.
