General Surgery remains the backbone of the surgical community.
General surgical procedures are numerous and involve different areas of the body. General surgeons frequently have special areas of interest and expertise. At Oxford Bariatric, we provide that expertise in a number of areas, in addition to Bariatric Surgery.
General surgeons are highly trained specialists who must complete a minimum of five years of training after graduating from medical school. They are trained to deal with complex elective problems as well as with management of trauma and other emergency situations. General surgeons perform surgery by open and laparoscopic (minimally invasive) techniques, and also perform endoscopy.
