A Surgeon's clinical work involves:

  • Concentrates on operative management of disease and injury across body systems
  • Assesses patients, orders investigations, determines surgical indications, performs operations, oversees postoperative care
  • Treats traumatic injuries, neoplasms, hernias, appendiceal inflammation, biliary disease, and vascular pathology
  • Uses conventional open techniques, laparoscopic methods, robotic-assisted procedures, and minimally invasive approaches
  • Known as: general surgeon, operative specialist, MD, DO
