General surgery encompasses a number of areas of practice, including anatomy, physiology, immunology, nutrition, metabolism, wound healing, intensive care, shock and resuscitation, neoplasia, and other topics, which are common to all surgical specialties.
Most components of general surgery focus on abdominal contents including the stomach, esophagus, small and large intestines, liver, pancreas, gallbladder, bile ducts, appendix, and even the thyroid gland. General surgeons also deal with diseases that involve soft tissue, skin, hernias, trauma, arteries, and more.
