General surgery encompasses surgical treatment of a wide range of conditions, particularly gallbladder, hernia, thyroid, stomach and intestinal diseases. Today, the majority of these operations are performed using laparoscopic (minimally invasive) methods; thus providing less pain, smaller scars and faster recovery. Fully equipped hospitals in Turkey and experienced surgeons performing thousands of operations annually offer treatment assurance at world standards. The entire process from examinations to surgery is completed without waiting and costs are well below those in Europe and America.
