General Surgery is a specialty that focuses on the surgical treatment of abdominal organs, endocrine organs, skin and soft tissue. Some general surgeons further specialise and focus on a narrower area such as breast surgery, vascular surgery, surgical oncology, endocrine surgery, transplantation, laparoscopic surgery and trauma surgery.
This category features specialists in Paediatric Surgery and General Surgery.
In March 2022 there were 2258 registered general surgeons in Australia (Medical Board of Australia, Registrant data, www.ahpra.gov.au/).
