Frequently Asked Questions
What conditions require general surgery?
General surgery treats conditions like hernias, gallbladder disease, appendicitis, and gastrointestinal issues. It also includes procedures for soft tissue tumors and wound care.
What is the difference between open surgery and minimally invasive surgery?
Open surgery involves a larger incision, while minimally invasive procedures use small incisions and specialized tools for quicker recovery and reduced scarring.
How should I prepare for surgery?
Preparation may include fasting, stopping certain medications, and arranging transportation. Your surgeon will provide specific instructions based on your procedure.
What is recovery like after surgery?
Recovery depends on the procedure but typically includes rest, pain management, and follow-up care. Minimally invasive surgeries often have shorter recovery times.
How do I know if I need surgery?
Your doctor will evaluate your condition, symptoms, and medical history. If non-surgical treatments aren’t effective, surgery may be recommended as the best option.
