Surgeon
Who is a surgeon?
Surgery is a broad field that is divided into several medical specialities. The following surgical specialities are widely represented at the FORTEMED Medical Centre:
A general surgeon is a medical specialist who specialises in performing various surgical procedures, primarily for pathologies of the abdominal organs, as well as various formations and defects on the surface of the body.
General surgeons can also perform diagnostic procedures, such as biopsies, to determine the cause of a disease and identify treatment options. General surgeons work only with adult patients.
A paediatric surgeon is a medical specialist who specialises in the health of children, from newborns to adolescents. Paediatric surgeons diagnose and treat various childhood diseases and injuries that require surgical intervention. These specialists treat conditions of the abdominal organs, musculoskeletal and connective tissues, urological and other pathologies.

Surgeon – a doctor who performs surgical interventions, specialising in the diagnosis and treatment of injuries (soft-tissue damage), diseases, and pathological processes of various kinds. However, operations and surgical procedures are not the only responsibilities of surgeons; other modern diagnostic methods are also used (palpation, biopsy, laboratory tests, ultrasound, X-ray, etc.).
The surgeon interviews and advises the patient and their family; selects the optimal treatment plan, taking into account the patient's age and individual characteristics; prepares the patient for surgery (nutrition, medication, and other preoperative stages); and conducts postoperative rehabilitation and prevention.
