General surgery is the discipline of treating diseases that cannot be managed with medication or other medical methods, by repairing or removing diseased organs through surgery. The General Surgery department works closely with several other specialties. Digestive system surgery, biliary and liver surgery, endocrine (thyroid, parathyroid, adrenal) surgery, esophagus, small and large intestine, stomach, rectum, liver, gallbladder, abdominal soft tissue tumors and abdominal wall hernias are the main areas of treatment.
Breast complaints, which affect mainly women and occasionally men, are also addressed. The surgical removal of benign or malignant breast lesions falls within this scope. Surgeries are performed using either open or minimally invasive methods. Frequently used endoscopic and laparoscopic systems contribute positively to faster post-operative recovery. For this reason, minimally invasive procedures have increasingly become the preferred option for both surgeons and patients in recent years.
