The common conditions treated by general surgeons include appendicitis, gallstones, piles or haemorrhoids, hernias, breast lumps, thyroid problems, and colorectal disorders.

Laparoscopic surgery is a minimally invasive surgical procedure done with the aid of a camera. The benefits of laparoscopic surgery include reduced pain, small scars, shorter hospital stays, and faster recovery times.

In some cases, surgery for gallstones may be necessary if the patient experiences certain signs and symptoms, such as abdominal cramps, nausea, vomiting, and infection, resulting from gallstones.

In most cases, appendicitis results in extreme abdominal pain on the lower right side, fever, nausea, vomiting, and decreased appetite. This is a medical emergency, and surgery is necessary to remove the appendix.

In most cases, a hernia occurs when an organ protrudes from a weakened part of the abdominal wall, causing a lump or swelling in the abdomen, and surgery is necessary for its treatment.

It is a weight loss surgery that is recommended for those who are suffering from severe obesity and are not able to lose weight with diet and exercise alone. It is recommended for those whose BMI is 40 or higher, or for those whose BMI is 35 or higher with other medical problems like diabetes, high blood pressure, and sleep apnea.
