General surgery includes the operative and postoperative management of patients with a broad spectrum of diseases providing many non-operative, elective, and emergency surgical treatments. As such, general surgeons have a central core of knowledge and experience with anatomy, physiology, metabolism, immunology, nutrition, pathology, wound healing, and more.

Because there is no routine procedure in general surgery, you may be referred to a general surgeon for any number of procedures.
