General Surgery

General Surgery covers a wide range of procedures to treat conditions involving the abdomen, digestive tract, skin, soft tissues, and more. At BASS Medical Group, our board-certified general surgeons perform both planned and emergency surgeries—often using minimally invasive techniques to reduce recovery time and scarring. From appendectomies and hernia repairs to gallbladder removal, general surgeons are often the first step in evaluating whether surgery is needed and coordinating with specialty surgical teams when appropriate.

FAQs About Pain Medicine

Q1: What does a general surgeon do?
A1: General surgeons perform procedures on various parts of the body, including the abdomen, digestive tract, skin, and soft tissues. They often manage conditions like hernias, appendicitis, and gallstones.

Q2: Is laparoscopic surgery always an option?
A2: In many cases, yes. Minimally invasive (laparoscopic) surgery offers faster recovery and smaller incisions. However, not all cases are suitable, especially in emergencies or if complications arise.

Q3: Do I need a referral to see a general surgeon at BASS?
A3: Many insurance plans require a referral from your primary care provider. However, you can contact BASS Medical Group directly, and our staff can help you determine if a referral is necessary.
