Benefits of General Surgery
General surgery is a speciality of medicine that uses surgical procedures in the diagnosis, treatment or management of various diseases, disorders, or injuries. The surgical procedures include making a single large incision or multiple incisions on the skin to access the affected organ and suturing or stapling the incision site. Sometimes, surgery is a mainstay or the only treatment to prevent the progression of a disease and reduce the risk of death in patients suffering from cancer, tumour growth, appendicitis, and many other conditions.
The benefits of surgery include:
Making or confirming the diagnosis of a disease or disorder if suspicion on imaging.
Removing the damaged tissue or organ
Removing an obstruction, stones, malignancies, tumours, lumps, etc.
Repairing tissues or organs
Implanting devices or implants
