The disease spectrum includes: surgical diseases of the abdominal digestive system/organs (liver, gallbladder, bile duct, pancreas, spleen, stomach, small intestine, colon, rectum, anus and perianal area, etc.), thyroid and parathyroid glands, breasts, abdominal cavity and retroperitoneum, abdominal wall and other parts/organs. The general surgery department has comprehensive professional skills, strong technical strength, and a complete personnel echelon structure. It has a group of experts and young and middle-aged backbones with rich clinical experience and superb professional skills. The department currently has 30 medical staff, including 14 doctors: 4 chief physicians, 6 deputy chief physicians; 2 doctors and 4 masters. With the comprehensive and rapid development of Tianjin Hospital as a state-owned public tertiary comprehensive hospital, general surgical talents have introduced many experts and highly educated young and middle-aged key doctors in recent years. Nowadays, general surgery has mature and comprehensive clinical expertise. We have mature and standardized diagnosis and treatment techniques and procedures for various surgical diseases such as the viscera, gallbladder and bile duct, pancreas, spleen, stomach, duodenum, small intestine, colon, rectum, retroperitoneum, abdomen/pelvis and presacral cavity, abdominal wall, perianal, thyroid, parathyroid, breast and so on. The main technical features and advantages of today’s general surgery:(1) Laparoscopic/laparoscopic minimally invasive technology has reached the domestic advanced level, especially laparoscopic cholecystectomy, laparoscopic common bile duct exploration and lithotomy, laparoscopic ultra-low anus-preserving radical resection of rectal cancer, etc. have reached the domestic first-class level. Laparoscopic biliary lithotomy forceps, a laparoscopic surgical instrument with a national utility model invention patent, is used in laparoscopic minimally invasive surgery for common bile duct stones, replacing the traditional lithotomy basket, resulting in better stone removal results and reduced medical costs. (2) Laparoscopic/laparoscopic minimally invasive surgical techniques are relatively comprehensive: laparoscopic partial hepatectomy, partial pancreatectomy, splenectomy, cholecystectomy, common bile duct exploration and lithotomy, choledochectomy + cholangiojejunostomy, radical gastric cancer resection or partial gastrectomy Resection, partial small bowel resection, radical resection of colorectal cancer, esophageal hiatus repair, esophageal myotomy for achalasia, inguinal hernia repair, abdominal wall hernia repair, laparoscopic thyroid/parathyroidectomy, etc. are mature technologies and have rich clinical technical experience. (3) Rich experience in surgical diagnosis and treatment of acute abdomen. Abdominal trauma: We have strong first-aid skills and experience in trauma such as liver and spleen rupture, gastrointestinal tract rupture, and multiple organ injuries.We have mature technology and rich experience in the diagnosis and treatment of acute pancreatitis, acute cholecystitis, acute obstructive suppurative cholangitis, gastrointestinal perforation, intestinal obstruction, abdominal incarcerated hernia, complex abdominal infection, gastrointestinal bleeding and other acute abdominal diseases. (4) We have mature technology and rich experience in complex third- and fourth-level abdominal surgeries such as liver tumors, pancreatic cancer, hilar cholangiocarcinoma, gastric cancer, colon cancer, rectal cancer, and retroperitoneal tumors. (5) Parathyroidectomy + autologous transplantation is one of the characteristic techniques of general surgery.
