A General Surgery expert witness is a Surgeon who testifies about surgical procedures such as appendectomy, cholecystectomy, and breast surgery. General Surgery is the field of surgery dealing predominantly with surgery upon the abdominal organs including the esophagus, stomach, intestinal tract, liver, pancreas, and gallbladder. General Surgeons also operate upon the thyroid and breast, and may perform some skin-related surgeries such as the treatment of burns, tumors, and infections (e.g. abscesses). General Surgeons also focus upon trauma and assist in running trauma centers across the nation. In the last two decades, the majority of General Surgeons perform minimally invasive surgery, the utilization of tiny cameras and devices to facilitate surgery in the least invasive fashion. Robotic surgery (really robot-assisted surgery) allow surgeons to perform delicate operations with unparalleled precision and dexterity.
Litigation against General Surgeons commonly involves allegations of delayed or improper treatment as well as standard complications of surgery including bleeding, infection, or damage to adjacent structures.
