General surgery, despite the name, is actually a surgical specialty. General surgeons not only perform surgeries for a wide range of common ailments, but are also responsible for patient care before, during, and after surgery. All surgeons must start their training in general surgery; many then go on to focus on another specialty.

General surgeons are trained to operate on the:

Alimentary tract (esophagus and related organs)
Abdomen and its contents
Breast, skin, and soft tissue
Endocrine system

In addition, general surgeons are expected to have knowledge and experience in:

Surgical critical care
Surgical oncology
Trauma

Despite the term "general", surgeons that practice general surgery are highly skilled surgeons that typically operate on common abdominal complaints including appendicitis, hernias, gallbladder surgeries, stomach, and intestinal issues.
