It is a discipline based on healing by performing a new tissue-organ transfer through transplantation, when necessary to surgically repair the region or organ that creates the disease or to remove the problematic area. Depending on the developing technology and surgical technique applications, the treatment approach of the wide range of diseases that general surgery is interested in leaves its place to special surgery. In this context, surgery of each disease-causing region is divided into sub-branches that require expertise
They are surgical treatments applied in diseases of the endocrine glands of the body.
In the General Surgery Department, the treatment of benign tumors and cancers of the breast is provided. Current and innovative surgical techniques are performed with treatment approaches specific to the course of the disease. In breast cancers, the principle of removing only the tumor region and preserving the integrity of the breast is based.

Organ donation is the process of surgically removing an organ or tissue from an organ donor and placing it in another person. Organ transplantation is necessary when the organ of the patient has lost its function or has been damaged by a disease or an injury.
Organ transplantation is one of the greatest advances in modern medicine. While the success rate of liver, heart and kidney transplants is high in Turkey, pancreas transplants are also performed recently.
Although organ transplantation can give patients a healthy life and a longer life expectancy, it is also a major surgery that carries potential risks and disadvantages such as organ rejection.
