When you have a stomach ache, the first thing you do, or rather anybody would do is to take a tablet to subside the pain. But there are chances where you might not realise there could be something more that you need to address. The most common example is appendix pain. It usually starts like a normal stomach cramp, but over time it scales up to being intolerable. This is when the need for a surgical intervention arises. The general surgery department of a hospital is where you’d be referred to when you need to get such treatments done. Apart from appendix, there are a number of other conditions that are taken up by the general surgery department in a hospital. So, let’s look at what general surgery is and what more can it help you with. General surgery is a surgical speciality that deals with treatment and surgery of the abdominal organs including:

• Oesophagus
• Small intestines
• Stomach
• Colon
• Gallbladder
• Appendix
• Liver
• Pancreas and bile ducts
• Thyroid gland

Apart from problems that affect the abdominal region, there are other conditions which largely affect the other organs of the body such as, diseases of the skin, soft tissues, breast, etc. Surgery helps removing the affected part and helping the body generate new and healthy cells while recovering. General surgery also involves corrective surgery for:

• Trauma
• Peripheral vascular surgery
• Hernias
• Endoscopic procedures such as Gastroscopy and colonoscopy
