General surgery focuses on abdominal organs such as the pancreas, gall bladder, esophagus, stomach, appendix, bile ducts, liver, colon, small bowel, etc. General surgery can also treat diseases that involve breast, skin, hernias, trauma, and vascular pathologies. A general surgeon also deals with conditions involving peripheral vascular surgery, hernias, skin, and breast.

Hernia

Hernia is a common condition that occurs when the contents of a particular body cavity protrude out of the membrane in which they are contained. A noticeable bulge is present which appears while standing or during strain. It might become painful, depending on case to case. It is essential to get hernia treatment as it never heals on its own and gets worse over time. ‘A stitch in time saves nine’ is the apt comparison to describe the progression of a hernia if not operated early.

Abdominal Surgery

Abdominal surgery is a broad term that involves procedures of the abdomen. There are many types of abdominal surgeries such as Laparoscopic or Open, Appendicectomy, Cholecystectomy, Inguinal hernia surgery & Gall Bladder, and many more.
