General surgeons are doctors who specialize in surgical procedures that alter body tissues to diagnose or treat a medical condition. A general surgeon has specialized knowledge of the entire surgical process, from the initial evaluation through preparation, procedure, and post-operative management. A general surgeon understands all nine basic areas of surgery including the digestive tract, abdomen, and its
contents, skin, and soft tissues including the breasts, head and neck, blood vessels and heart, endocrine system (hormones and glands), surgical treatment of cancer, surgical management of traumatic injuries and care of critically ill patients with surgical needs.
At Karuna City Clinic, we also offer expert consultations and minor procedures under following sub-specialties under our surgery department.
- Breast oncosurgery: It is a subspecialty of surgery that focuses on surgical procedures like breast biopsy, lumpectomy, mastectomy, breast reconstruction, and other procedures to treat many breast conditions, including breast cancer in both men and women.
- Pediatric surgery: It is a subspecialty of surgery involving the surgery of fetuses, infants, children, adolescents, and young adults. Laparoscopic surgery is a minimally invasive surgery procedure in which the surgeon inserts small hollow tubes through 3-5 small incisions to insert a small telescope called a laparoscope and instruments to do the surgery. Our pediatric laparoscopic can diagnose any abnormal condition in your child and guide you on a treatment plan/ surgery/
laparoscopic surgery, if required, to avoid major surgery and long healing time after surgery for your child.
When to visit a Surgeon?
You may need to visit a surgeon in a variety of circumstances like
- Referral from primary doctor: If your primary care doctor believes that non-surgical treatments won’t be enough, you may be referred to a surgeon.
- Medical Emergency: You may need to see a surgeon in case of emergency procedures like appendicitis, hernia, gallstone, kidney stone, deep cut/wound etc
- When both preoperative and postoperative treatment are required: General surgeons are usually well-versed in the assessment and diagnosis of preoperative and postoperative conditions. Furthermore, they know pain management, infection prevention, and wound healing.
