What is General Surgery?

The American Surgical Association defines general surgery as a medical specialty that covers the main areas of surgical treatment. General surgeons treat diseases of the abdomen, breast, head and neck, blood vessels, and digestive tract. They also manage the care of patients who have been injured or who have deformities or other conditions that need surgery.
