What Is General Surgery?

General Surgery is the medical specialty responsible for the diagnosis and surgical treatment of various diseases that affect different organs and systems of the body.

In addition to performing surgical procedures, the general surgeon cares for the patient throughout every stage of the process, from the initial evaluation and determination of treatment to postoperative follow-up.

A consultation allows us to answer questions, evaluate symptoms, and determine the most appropriate approach for each clinical situation.
