General surgery

General Surgery generally involves abdominal surgery, though does also include the treatment of soft tissue regions such as the breast. There are a broad range of specialist surgeries which include surgery on – the liver, pancreas, stomach, colon, gallbladder and thyroid. They are also routinely used to treat hernias. Due to the sheer amount of regions covered within this area of medicine most consultant general surgeons specialise within a particular field of general surgery.

There are a variety of surgeries available under general surgery – including laparoscopic surgery, which is usually known as key hole surgery. The recovery time for laparoscopic surgery is shorter and there is a decreased chance of infection. Many patients also prefer this type of surgery due to its minimal scarring.

Park Hill Hospital in Doncaster, South Yorkshire offers many types of general surgery and offer laparoscopic treatments where appropriate.
