General surgery is the unit where diseases that cannot be treated with medication or other medical methods are treated surgically. The general surgery unit is responsible for the surgical treatment of organs from the beginning to the end of digestion. The physicians of this unit are called general surgeons or general surgery specialists. Starting from the throat, general surgeons deal with surgical interventions for esophagus, thyroid, reflux, breast, obesity, diabetes, abdominal wall, liver, gallbladder, pancreas, stomach, spleen, intestine and anorectal diseases.

General surgeons are also involved in injuries and structural defects in the body and play a role in the repair of sharp or gunshot wounds. Organ transplantation procedures are performed by doctors in this unit. Depending on the disease and the patient’s condition, they apply open or closed surgery methods. Closed surgery, called laparoscopic surgery, is often used in abdominal operations.
