What is general surgery?

General surgeons diagnose and treat a broad range of conditions of the abdomen, digestive tract, skin, and soft tissue. At Mountain View Surgical that includes hernia repair, gallbladder surgery, appendectomy, colon and bowel surgery, anti-reflux (fundoplication) surgery, and the removal of skin and soft-tissue lesions — along with breast, endocrine, and cancer surgery through our specialty teams. Whenever it’s appropriate, our surgeons use minimally invasive laparoscopic and robotic techniques, which generally mean smaller incisions, less pain, and a quicker return to normal life than traditional open surgery.

Frequently asked questions

What does a general surgeon treat?
General surgeons handle a wide range of abdominal and soft-tissue conditions — hernias, the gallbladder, appendix, colon and bowel, reflux, and skin or soft-tissue masses — as well as breast, endocrine, and cancer surgery through our specialty teams.

Do I need a referral to see a surgeon?
Many patients are referred by their primary-care doctor, but you don’t always need a referral to schedule a consultation. Your insurance plan may have its own requirements — our office can help you check.

Will I definitely need surgery?
Not always. A big part of a surgeon’s job is deciding whether an operation is truly the best option. We’ll walk you through the alternatives and recommend surgery only when it’s the right choice for you.

Are your procedures minimally invasive?
Whenever it’s appropriate, yes. We use laparoscopic and robotic techniques that typically mean smaller incisions, less pain, and a faster recovery than open surgery.
