General surgery is a broad surgical specialty that focuses on the diagnosis and treatment of a wide range of conditions affecting various parts of the body, including the abdomen, digestive tract, breast, skin, and soft tissues. General surgeons are trained to perform both minimally invasive laparoscopic procedures and traditional open surgeries. Common treatments include appendectomy, hernia repair, gallbladder removal, and management of abdominal infections and tumors. The goal of general surgery is to provide effective, safe, and timely surgical care to improve patient health and quality of life.
