General Surgery

Overview

Overview

As the name implies, a general surgeon is a doctor who deals with more or less the entire human body. They study for many years in order to have an extensive understanding of the human body, trauma, and healing. These specialists treat patients during the preoperative, operative, and postoperative phases of care. They deal with a wide variety of conditions, and the treatment can be anything from nonoperative, elective surgery, or emergency surgery.
