General surgery is a surgical specialty providing expertise in a wide variety of areas, commonly the abdominal organs, skin, and soft tissues. A general surgeon performs most of the more common operations that you might need in your lifetime. For example, surgical management of:
- Abdominal wall hernias
- Gallbladder removal using keyhole surgery (aka. ‘laparoscopic cholecystectomy’)
- Ingrown toenails
- Carpal tunnel syndrome
- Skin lesions (eg. lipoma, sebaceous cyst excision)
- Appendix removal using keyhole surgery (aka. laparoscopic appendicectomy)
