Consultation surgeon

A surgeon is a doctor who specializes in diagnosing, treating, and preventing diseases that require surgery or monitoring conditions after surgery.

What a surgeon treats

A surgeon treats acute and chronic diseases of soft tissues, skin, subcutaneous tissue, abdominal organs, hernias, neoplasms, inflammations, trauma consequences and postoperative complications.

Main areas of specialization:

• Surgery of skin and subcutaneous tissue

Don't delay a visit if you have symptoms that indicate an acute or chronic process that requires evaluation by a specialist.

Typical symptoms:

• Sharp abdominal pain
• Thicknesses under the skin
• Long non-healing wounds
• Purulent inflammations

• Redness, increased skin temperature

Reasons for treatment

Timely consultation with a surgeon can avoid complications and the beginning of dangerous processes that require emergency intervention.

The most common causes:

• Suspicion of a hernia

• Ingrown toenail
• Cyst or lipoma

Treatment methods used by the surgeon

A consultation at the ZDRAVO clinic begins with getting to know each other. After listening to the patient's complaints, the doctor will conduct an initial examination. The main task is to make a diagnosis. Depending on the individual characteristics, the surgeon will select a treatment method (can be both operative and conservative). In the event that urgent care is needed, the doctor can perform the operation (without hospitalization) immediately after confirming the diagnosis.

The surgeon chooses the method of therapy depending on the diagnosis. Both conservative and minimally traumatic surgical methods under local anesthesia are used.

Frequently used approaches:

• Opening and drainage of the abscess
• Removal of neoplasms
• Wound and suture treatment
• Puncture and drainage
• Monitoring of postoperative wounds
• Prescribing drug therapy

Diagnosis before treatment

To make a diagnosis, the surgeon conducts an examination, clarifies the anamnesis and, if necessary, prescribes additional diagnostic methods.

Additional studies:

• General blood and urine analysis
• Soft tissue ultrasound
• Puncture and bacterial examination of the discharge
• Surgical test
• Radiography or CT scan (if indicated)

Diagnostic accuracy is important in selecting treatment tactics.

Related providers and services

In some cases, a comprehensive approach involving other specialists and instrumental examination methods is necessary.

We also recommend:

• Consultation with a general practitioner or dermatologist
• Ultrasound of soft tissue or abdominal cavity
• Blood test, bacteriologic culture
• Consultation with an oncologist for neoplasms
• Surgical removal of cysts, fibromas, lipomas

Complex management allows you to reduce the recovery time and increase the effectiveness of therapy.
