General surgery is a surgical discipline that focuses on abdominal and pelvic contents including the small intestine, large intestine, appendix and hernias, among other areas. Surgeons who practice general surgery are highly skilled specialists who employ a wide range of knowledge and skills to perform surgery, often in emergency situations. They typically operate on common abdominal complaints including appendicitis, hernias and intestinal problems.
