General Surgery

 

General Surgery is a surgical specialty that focuses on surgical treatment of abdominal organs including esophagus, stomach, colon, liver, gall bladder, bile ducts, thyroid gland, breast cancer, as well as hernia repair. Weight loss (lap band) surgery is also a common procedure performed by general surgeons.

It is important to us that Surgical Specialists of Oklahoma's patients in Oklahoma City and surrounding communities throughout Oklahoma are given as much education as possible regarding their diagnosis. Besides the education you might receive in our clinic settings, below are some educational links that might help you to better understand general surgery diagnoses. 

· Weight Loss Clinic - Lap Band Surgery: Bariatric surgery or lap band surgery may be a treatment option that can be discussed in our weight loss clinic for some individuals in Oklahoma who are 100 pounds or more overweight and have been unsuccessful with other weight loss methods. Weight-loss (lap band) surgery is often considered an option to help folks lose weight and gain back their health.
