Frequently Asked Questions on General Surgery
There are a variety of circumstances that may necessitate seeing a general surgeon. Some of the common reasons why you may want to consult a general surgeon include:
Your Doctor Has Recommended Surgery
Your doctor may refer you to a general surgeon if they conclude that non-surgical treatments won’t be enough. When non-surgical treatments fail to deliver the desired results, the next logical step is to visit a general surgeon.
You Opt for an Elective Procedure
Elective surgery is any procedure that you and your doctor schedule in advance. Some examples of elective surgical procedures often include hernia or gallbladder surgery.
You Experience a Medical Emergency
General surgeons possess broad knowledge, which allows them to perform a variety of emergency procedures. People seek the expertise of a general surgeon for emergency conditions that include appendicitis, gallstones, and hernia.
General surgeons possess specialized knowledge of the whole surgical process, from the initial evaluation through preparation, procedure, and post-operative management. They are at home with all nine basic areas of surgery:
- Abdomen and its contents
- Digestive tract
- Skin and soft tissue, including the breasts
- Blood vessels and heart
- Endocrine system (hormones and glands)
- Head and neck
- Surgical treatment of cancer
- Care of critically ill patients with surgical needs
Some general surgeons in Dallas/Fort Worth, Texas and other locations are also familiar with minimally invasive surgical techniques like laparoscopy. General surgeons have a broad knowledge of a wide range of diseases and conditions. This puts them in a position where they can recommend surgery and the specific kind of surgery that would be appropriate.
General surgeons know:
- The body’s healthy structure and function
- How the immune system functions
- How blood flows and clots
- Infections and antibiotics
- How wounds heal
According to the American Medical Association and the American College of Surgeons, some of the most common general surgical operations in the USA include:
- Appendectomy – surgical removal of the appendix
- Cholecystectomy – surgery to remove the gallbladder
- Debridement of wound, burn, or infection – the surgical removal of foreign material and/or dead, damaged, or infected tissue from a wound or burn.
- Inguinal hernia repairs – protrusions of part of the intestine into the muscles of the groin. Surgical repair pulls the intestine back to its original location.

While both are practitioners of medicine, they serve different roles.
Physicians practice general medicine although sometimes they may also be specialists in internal medicine. They may be specialists or practice primary care, with the latter being generalists, such as family doctors, gynecologists, and pediatricians. Specialists, on the other hand, focus on specific diseases, such as cancers or breathing disorders, or specific parts of the body, such as the digestive system or heart. Physicians treat illnesses, injuries and other conditions with medicines, physical therapy, and other non-surgical techniques.
Surgeons perform most of the same duties as physicians, including recording patients’ medical histories and diagnosing illnesses, injuries, and other conditions. The difference is that physicians’ therapies typically encourage the body to heal itself whereas surgeons act directly to correct illnesses, injuries, and deformities through open incisions with scalpels (traditional), or with tiny instruments inserted into the body through fine tubes or, with the aid of robots.
