General Surgery

Surgery is a medical speciality that makes use of operative techniques to investigate and treat certain medical conditions caused either by diseases or trauma.

Surgical management can be established for a few purposes such as:

Surgical procedures can be divided into a few categories depending on the nature of the procedure, level of experience of the surgeon, the usage of special instruments, based on body part involved.

Prior to any procedure, patients will be evaluated to gauge their fitness for any surgical intervention. This involves taking a detailed patient history, performing physical examinations, conducting blood investigations and radiological assessment.
