General surgery is a surgical specialty that treats a variety of ailments. It can range from a simple procedure performed in an office setting to a more involved surgery done in the operating room. In addition to doing surgeries and procedures, general surgeons are also responsible for patient care

While general surgery sounds broad, our surgeons are experts in a spectrum of conditions and diseases. They have experience in evaluating, diagnosing, treating, and managing conditions. You are in good hands with our general surgery team.

Our general surgeons are trained in the latest medical techniques. Here are some of the top procedures our general surgeons provide.

• Lap Cholecystectomy: Laparoscopic cholecystectomy is a minimally invasive surgical procedure used to remove the gallbladder. The Lap Cholecystectomy is performed through several small incisions in the abdomen. A Lap Cholecystectomy is often recommended for patients who have gallstones that are causing pain or other symptoms.
• Hernia Repair (with and without mesh): A hernia is when tissues or internal organs bulge through the wall that surrounds it. Hernia repair is a surgical procedure to put the bulging tissues back in place. For larger hernias, the surgeon may add support to the wall to prevent another hernia. This can be done laparoscopically using small incisions or open surgery in which the surgeon makes a cut.
• Mass Removal: Mass removal is a surgical procedure in which a mass, or lump, is removed from the body. Masses can be benign, or non-cancerous, or malignant, or cancerous. Benign masses are not usually a threat to health and can often be left alone. However, malignant masses can be aggressive and spread to other parts of the body. For this reason, it is often necessary to remove them surgically.
• Pilonidal Cyst Removal: Pilonidal cysts are sacs of fluid that form near the tailbone, often at the site of an infection or ingrown hair. Pilonidal cysts can cause pain, inflammation, and drainage. If left untreated, they can become infected and fill with pus. Pilonidal cyst removal is a surgical procedure to remove the cyst and any surrounding tissue. It is typically performed under general anesthesia.
