What is General Surgery?
General Surgery is a branch of medicine focused on repairing diseases that cannot be treated with medication or medical methods, or improving conditions by cutting and removing the diseased organ through surgery. The term originates from the Latin word "chirurgiae," meaning "handwork." The general surgery department works in collaboration with specialized units in various fields such as oncology, gastroenterology, endocrinology, and traumatology.

Diagnosis and Treatment Services of the General Surgery Department
In the General Surgery Department of our hospital, a series of tests are requested based on the patient's complaints. Our hospital, equipped with advanced technology, provides significant contributions to general surgery through biochemical tests (such as blood, urine), and radiological tests (such as ultrasound, mammography, CT scans, MRIs). Along with traditional surgical methods and treatments performed within the general surgery department, laparoscopic (minimally invasive) surgery, a technological advancement in recent years, is successfully applied at our hospital.
