General Surgery Frequently Asked Questions

What is a general surgeon?

Despite the name, a general surgeon is a highly skilled doctor who specializes in a variety of surgical procedures, including minimally invasive surgery. Though they may go on to specialize further in one area of the body, all surgeons start out in general surgery and require rigorous training to know:

  • How wounds heal
  • How to treat blood clots
  • How the immune system works
  • How a healthy body functions
  • How to identify and treat infections

General surgeons are also trained to operate on various parts of the body, including:

  • The esophagus and related organs
  • The abdomen, stomach organs, and intestines
  • The skin, breast, and soft tissues
  • The endocrine system

What conditions does a general surgeon treat?

 Chevron Icon

General surgeons treat a broad range of conditions, including:

  • Hernias — often the result of heavy lifting or prolonged strain, internal tissues or organs protrude through weak areas of muscle

When should I go to see a general surgeon?

 Chevron Icon

There are many situations where you might go to a general surgeon, including elective surgeries, medical emergencies, or because other treatments for your condition haven’t worked.

Elective surgeries are typically non-life-threatening procedures that you and your surgeon schedule in advance to alleviate pain, manage a condition, and help you live more comfortably.

Medical emergencies include any procedure that needs immediate attention, such as trauma to the body, hernias, appendicitis, and more.

If your primary care physician believes that non-surgical care isn’t enough to alleviate your symptoms or improve your condition, they may refer you to a general surgeon.

What can I expect during my general surgery appointment?

A typical visit to a general surgeon will include an evaluation to make sure surgery is the best option for you. You can expect your general surgeon to explain any recommended procedures and answer any questions you have about those procedures. You’ll also be given instructions on how to prepare for your operation, including:

  • Tests you may need to take
  • Medications you may need to stop or start taking
  • How long before your procedure before you have to stop eating and drinking

In addition to these instructions, your surgeon will walk you through what to expect during your recovery. If surgery requires you to stay at the hospital after, you’ll find out how long you can expect to be in the hospital and be given post-operative instructions for when you return home.
