When should you see a general surgeon (جنرل سرجن)?

General surgeons have a vast knowledge of many different conditions and upon evaluation they can recommend whether or not a patient needs surgery as well as the kind of surgery that would be appropriate for them. The most common reasons to see a general surgeon include:

Recommendation of a medical practitioner: If your healthcare provider makes a diagnosis and thinks that non-surgical treatments are not enough, then they may recommend that you see a general surgeon. Thereafter, a general surgeon evaluates the patient and sees if surgery is needed or not. In some cases, surgery can be recommended as an additional procedure, for instance, in case of certain cancers, oncologists can recommend resection of tumor before chemotherapy.

In case of an emergency: Surgical emergency can occur in case of a trauma or a life-threatening condition for which surgery can become mandatory like appendicitis, strangulated hernia, gallstones, road traffic accident, or a gunshot wound.

In case of an elective procedure: For certain chronic conditions, surgery is recommended but is not exactly an emergency, thus an elective procedure is scheduled as per the convenience of the patient and the availability of the general surgeon.

Examples of elective procedures include: tonsillectomies, hemorrhoidectomies, open or laparoscopic cholecystectomy, thyroidectomy, herniorrhaphy, breast lumpectomy, colostomy, liver resection, choledochotomy, stomach resection in cases of cancer and esophagectomy.

آپ کو ایک جنرل سرجن سے کب ملاقات کرنی چاہئے؟

جنرل سرجنوں کو بہت سارے مختلف حالات کا وسیع علم ہوتا ہے اور جانچ پڑتال کے بعد وہ یہ تجویز کرسکتے ہیں کہ مریض کو سرجری کی ضرورت ہے یا نہیں ، اور اس قسم کی سرجری کا اندازہ لگا سکتے ہیں جو ان کے لئے مناسب ہوگی۔ جنرل سرجن سے رابطہ کرنے کی سب سے عام وجوہات میں شامل ہیں

میڈیکل پریکٹیشنر کی سفارش: اگر آپ کا معالج کوئی تشخیص کرتا ہے اور وہ یہ سمجھتا ہے کہ غیر جراحی کے علاج کافی نہیں ہیں تو وہ تجویز کرسکتے ہیں کہ آپ ایک جنرل سرجن سے ملیں۔ اس کے بعد ، ایک جنرل سرجن مریض کا جائزہ لیتا ہے اور دیکھتا ہے کہ کیا سرجری کی ضرورت ہے یا نہیں۔ کچھ معاملات میں ، جیسے کہ کچھ خاص کینسر کی صورت میں سرطان کی اضافی طریقہ کار کے طور پر بھی سرجری کی سفارش کی جاسکتی ہے ، آنکولوجسٹ کیموتھریپی سے پہلے ہی ٹیومر سے دوچار ہونے کی سفارش کرسکتے ہیں۔

کسی ایمرجنسی کی صورت میں: سرجیکل ایمرجنسی کسی جسمانی چوٹ یا جان لیوا حالت کی صورت میں ہوسکتی ہے جس کے لئے سرجری لازمی ہوسکتی ہے جیسے اپینڈیسائٹس ، گلا ہوا ہرنیا ، گال بلیڈر میں پتھری ، روڈ ٹریفک حادثہ ، یا بندوق کی گولی سے زخمی ہونا۔

کسی اختیاری طریقہ کار کی صورت میں: کچھ دائمی حالات کے لئے سرجری کی سفارش کی جاتی ہے لیکن بالکل ایمرجنسی نہیں ہے ، اس طرح مریض کی سہولت اور جنرل سرجن کی دستیابی کے مطابق اختیاری طریقہ کار طے شدہ ہے۔ اختیاری طریقہ کار کی مثالوں میں شامل ہیں: ٹونسیلیکٹومی ، ہیمورایڈیکٹومی ، اوپن یا لیپروسکوپک کولیسسٹیکٹومی ، تائرائڈیکٹومی ، ہرییورافی ، چھاتی کا لمپیکٹومی ، کولوسٹومی ، جگر کی ریسیکشن ، کولیڈوکوٹومی ، کینسر اور غذائی قلت کے معاملات میں پیٹ کی ریسیکشن۔

What are the main areas of concern of a general surgeon?

General surgery involves spending time in the outpatient—where patients are assessed and diagnosed, the operating room (OR), the emergency room (ER) and the intensive care unit (ICU) where the post-operative or the more serious patients are managed and treated.

General surgeons deal with elective procedures as well as emergency surgical procedures. They are the first port of call in case of gravely ill patients who need surgery.

What are the most common disorders general surgeons treat in Lahore?

Research shows that the majority of patients coming to the general surgeons have diseases of the alimentary tract (29.1%), hernias (15.6%), superficial lumps (12%), diseases of the liver and biliary tract (9.1%), followed by breast diseases (4.2%). About 64.5% of cases coming to the surgical department are those for elective procedures, while 35.5% are managed as emergency cases. Some surgeons manage their patients through conservative treatment options while others refer their patients to other surgeons or hospitals.

The surgical procedures mostly being done, are considered a reflection of the diseases prevalent in the region. Several international studies show that inguinal hernia repairs are the most common surgical procedure, followed by hemorrhoids. The high prevalence of the latter can be contributed by the changes in dietary pattern and lack of fiber in the diet resulting in constipation and straining during defecation. In the United States alone, the prevalence of hemorrhoids is 4.4% of the adult population.

What kinds of general surgeons are there?

General surgeons, after their residency, can go on to take subspecialty training in a specific area of interest. In some academic centers, for instance, surgeons can limit their practice to one subspecialty and gain more training and expertise in that particular field. They can go on to become one of the following:

• Vascular surgeon: are the general surgeons who deal with repair of vessels and their grafting. They also assist other surgeons in repair, particularly after accidents and traumatic injuries.
• Hand surgeon: are general surgeons who deal with the repair of vessels and nerves involving the hands. Because hands are complex appendages, their repair is complex as well, and a whole specialty is dedicated to their repair in case of injury or trauma. Most often such surgeons have to deal with mechanical workers who injure their hands while using heavy machinery and road traffic accidents.
• Pediatric surgeons: are general surgeons who deal with only children.
• General surgical oncologists: are surgeons who operate tumors and masses. Cancers are masses that grow into tissues and distort normal anatomy. Surgery can help to reduce the size of the tumors before the patient undergoes radio or chemotherapy.
• Trauma surgeons: deal only with patients involved in road traffic and other accidents. They mostly deal with surgical emergencies.
