General surgery is a medical speciality focused on surgically treating the conditions affecting the abdomen, digestive tract, skin, soft tissues, and endocrine organs. General surgeons are skilled in performing common procedures such as Hernia Repair, Gallbladder Removal, Appendectomy, and Surgery for gastrointestinal cancers.
 

A general surgeon generally recommends surgery to a patient when:

• Conservative treatments fail

• There is a risk of complications, such as perforation, obstruction, and bleeding

• Malignancy is suspected or confirmed

• The condition is acute, such as appendicitis

During the consultation, the general surgeon 

• Reviews the medical and surgical history

• Conduct a physical examination

• Order diagnostic tests, if necessary (e.g., blood tests, ultrasound, or CT scan)

• Discuss treatment options, including risks and benefits

• Guide the consent process and pre-operative preparation process

Recovery time varies depending on the type of surgery and individual health factors. Minimally invasive surgeries typically require 1–2 weeks for recovery, while open surgeries may take 4–6 weeks. The general surgeon at Manipal Hospitals, Siliguri, schedules regular follow-ups to ensure optimal healing. Recovery strategies include effective pain management, proper wound care, and guided support for a gradual return to normal activities.
 

The general surgeons in Siliguri advise the following lifestyle changes after general surgery:

• Avoid heavy lifting for 4-6 weeks

• Eat a well-balanced diet rich in fibre to prevent constipation

• Stay hydrated and resume physical activity gradually

• Follow wound care instructions and take medications as prescribed
