A general surgeon is a medical specialist who surgically treats diseases affecting internal organs and soft tissues. This field includes the treatment of many problems involving the gallbladder, hernias, bowel, adrenal glands and subcutaneous masses.
General surgery is one of the broadest medical specialties and covers various types of operations. Today, most operations are performed laparoscopically. This method is safer for patients and offers a more comfortable recovery. Dr. Ilgar Ismayilov practises as a FEBS-certified general surgeon in Baku and performs operations in accordance with international standards.
A general surgeon's work extends beyond the operation. They also oversee preparation for surgery, postoperative recovery and the patient's long-term health. Choosing the right doctor is therefore a significant decision for every patient.
