Surgery is the practice of treating a patient by incision or manipulation with instruments. After the doctor gets the basic MBBS certificate, he can specialize in general surgery if he has a love for anatomy. A Russellville general surgeon can further specialize in several other kinds of surgery which may include breast surgery, colorectal surgery, vascular surgery, endocrine surgery and many more.

Breast surgery is performed for a number of reasons. It is common among women and less among men whose breasts are rudimentary. A woman can go for a breast surgery if she has cancer on the area. Apart from health issues, breast surgery is done in breast augmentation when a woman desires to increase the size of her breasts to look more attractive. It might also be to improve its contour.

A colorectal surgeon is one who takes care of diseases that affect the rectum, colon and the anus. When some of the pouches of the colon has become inflamed, a condition generally called diverticulitis, this doctor is the one to help. He also takes care of those that have hemorrhoids. The same length of time it requires to specialize in any of the areas in general surgery is required for this one.

In endocrine surgery, the doctor is more interested in diseases related to the thyroid gland, parathyroid, and adrenal glands. These are areas of the body that secrete hormones. When there is a swelling in these areas or when it appears that a hormone is not functioning, they are the ones that are called upon when a surgery is needed.

In order to replace the liver, heart, kidney or pancreas, transplanting surgeons have to open the body. The need arises when a replacement is necessary for a better health condition of the patient. For example, apart from dialysis, having a kidney transplant will help a patient who has problems with micturition. Transplanting, when done by one who is not specialized, can lead to more grievous cases.

Vascular surgeons can take care of diseases of the blood vessels with or without an operation. When done with an operation, it usually involves less invasive techniques. Usually, they give treatment by adjusting a patient's lifestyle and modifying his or activities and diet. They frown at smoking because they know how bad it can affect the vessels.

Surgical oncology is another specialty for general surgeons in Russellville. This involves treating cancerous tumors through surgery. This is required when drugs may no longer be effective and the patient needs a more proactive measure before it is too late.

All these specializations can be found in Russellville. Even when the doctors have been successfully trained in other cities, they find their way here because of the amenities and suitable work conditions available. Thus, patients with any kind of health issue at all from any part of the world will be safer to make Russellville their first point to see a doctor especially if the case requires a surgery.
