General Surgeon Examination

A general surgeon is a specialist doctor who diagnoses and treats a wide range of conditions requiring surgical evaluation and intervention.

A general surgeon's examination covers all types of changes to the skin, subcutaneous tissue, muscles, as well as deeper body structures.

The most common reasons for visiting a surgeon are conditions such as hernias, lipomas, inflammations, painful swellings, or injuries.

The surgeon evaluates the need for an operation, a minimally invasive procedure, or conservative treatment.

At Medical Time, appointments are scheduled quickly, without waiting and without a referral.

The examination involves a conversation with the patient, a physical examination, and, if necessary, an ultrasound or additional diagnostics.

A general surgeon may recommend the removal of growths such as moles, lipomas, cysts, corns, ingrown toenails, etc.

For changes that require an operation, further treatment and preoperative preparation are planned.

Our surgeons have many years of experience and a modern approach to treatment.

Schedule your examination and solve your health problem on time.

When to see a general surgeon?

If you have a painful or hard lump under your skin – it could be a lipoma, cyst, or abscess.

The appearance of redness, swelling, and warmth in the changed tissue area may indicate inflammation.

An ingrown toenail or nail infection is a common reason for a surgical examination.

The presence of a hernia – a bulge that increases with exertion – requires a surgeon's evaluation.

Bleeding moles, changes in color or shape of moles require immediate evaluation.

Postoperative pain, redness, or discharge from a wound are signs of a complication that a surgeon must evaluate.

Chronic non-healing wounds, bedsores, etc., require professional care and a treatment plan.

Any growth on the body that is expanding, painful, or changing its appearance deserves a surgeon's attention.

A surgeon can also assess the condition of veins, fistulas, or lymph nodes.

Don't wait for complications – early intervention prevents serious consequences.

What does a general surgeon's examination look like?

The examination begins with a medical history – a conversation about symptoms and their duration.

The surgeon asks questions about previous illnesses, operations, and therapies.

The physical examination includes inspection, palpation, and, if necessary, percussion and auscultation of the growth.

If needed, an ultrasound of the changed tissue or region is performed.

Based on the findings, the doctor gives an opinion on whether an operation is necessary or if monitoring is recommended.

In case of urgency, the fastest possible appointment for the intervention is provided.

The patient receives detailed explanations about the procedure, recovery, and potential risks.

If an immediate operation is not necessary, the surgeon may suggest therapy or changes in lifestyle habits.

Everything is done with a high degree of professionalism and discretion.

The examination lasts from 20 to 30 minutes, depending on the complexity of the problem.
