General Surgery

What is Surgery?

Surgery refers to the application of different instruments and techniques to explore or correct pathological conditions, rectify damage, or enhance physiological functions. There are many types of surgical procedures used to address different health issues, ranging from lifesaving cardiac surgeries to elective cosmetic surgery. Surgical specialties include different types of specialized procedures in different parts of the body or to fulfill specific medical requirements.

Operations on the heart and blood vessels are directed at the treatment of heart diseases, repair of valves, or correction of congenital anomalies and are referred to as cardiac surgery. Operations related to enhancing the appearance through facial reconstruction or body contouring are referred to as cosmetic surgery. Eye operations include cataract removal and corrective laser surgeries that may either restore or enhance vision. General surgical operations range from an appendectomy, hernia repairs, and gallbladder removals to any other type of operation. Neurosurgery involves surgeries for or concerning the brain, the spinal cord, as well as peripheral nerves. It works under conditions involving the brain: such as tumors, aneurysms, or problems with the spinal column. Vascular surgery is concerned with disorders of blood circulation, including issues concerning an aneurysm and the condition of varicose veins. Lastly, bariatric surgery is made to assist people who suffer from extreme obesity through medical changes in the surgery to reduce excess body weight.

There is a surgical specialty for each type of surgery and requires different skills, techniques, and technologies. Surgeons in such fields harness advanced techniques to make sure the best results for their patients, whether the function is improved, lives are saved, or quality of life is enhanced.

History of Surgery

The history of surgery is believed to run thousands of years and dates as far back in ancient times. Evidence from early surgeons was found dating back in the ancient civilization. Early surgical practices were straightforward and mostly concentrated in the treatment of trauma and injuries. It has been documented as an ancient Egypt trepanation procedure that made holes in the skull to relieve pressure. Indian physician Sushruta is considered the “father of surgery” since he recorded comprehensive surgical procedures, including reconstruction surgeries around 600 BCE, in his texts.

The modern cardiac surgery with which we are familiar today was founded in the 20th century. This was when Ludwig Rehn successfully performed the first heart surgery in 1896. It was in the 1950s, however, when the actual impetus for the field of heart surgery was discovered. This was due to the invention of the heart-lung machine. This then enabled the completion of previously considered impossible operations such as valve repairs and coronary bypass. Cosmetic surgery traces its history to early history but did not take its present glory until the 20th century following the end of World War I. There, it was used to reconstruct injured soldiers. Eye surgery has been practiced for centuries starting with early procedures for cataract removal recorded in ancient India and Greece. It was only when the laser was invented in the late 20th century that advances in laser technology began to change the field. Meanwhile, general surgery has evolved from simple wound care to encompass almost all of the other internal procedures, and Neurosurgery, among the most technologically complex, became an available field at the end of the 19th century, when anesthesiology and antisepsis emerged. Vascular surgery branched off from techniques such as angioplasty and grafting, and Bariatric surgery, with a need to treat complete overweightness, was developed in the middle of the 20th century.

The evolution of each of these surgical fields over centuries transformed their manifestations into profound innovation in caring for patients.

Issues with Surgery

  • Complications and dangers: Every surgery carries a risk of infection, bleeding, or reaction to anesthetics.
  • Availability of specialists: Some geographic locations may not have trained surgeons in a particular specialty.
  • High costs Invasive surgeries, especially those that are technically challenging and performed for other than medical purposes, are expensive, therefore reaching and serving some patients becomes impossible.
  • Recovery after the surge: The recovery periods vary depending on the surgery, but some may be for long periods and require lifestyle changes.

Therapies

Surgical therapies are specific depending on the type of disorder and the nature of the surgery that is performed. For cardiac surgeries. Some of the therapies might include coronary artery bypass, valve replacement, or heart transplantation. Cosmetic surgeries, for instance, offer facelifts and rhinoplasty, body contouring as well as liposuction. Eye surgeries of course include LASIK corrective surgery or even cataract surgery to regain clear vision. General surgery can treat a wide array of internal health problems like appendicitis, hernias, and gallbladder disease. Neurosurgery generally encompasses treating conditions of the brain and spinal cord, such as tumor removal or spinal decompression. Vascular surgeries involve procedures on a condition like aneurysms and varicose veins, while Bariatric surgery involves procedures that include gastric bypass or sleeve gastrectomy to cause extreme weight loss in obese patients.
