Surgeons specialise in operating on particular parts of the body or to address specific injuries, diseases or degenerative conditions. The main areas of surgery are cardiothoracic, ear, nose and throat (ENT), general, neurosurgery, oral and maxillofacial, orthopaedic and trauma, paediatric, plastic and urology.
Advances in anaesthetics enable surgeons to perform long and complex operations, while innovation in areas such as laparoscopic keyhole surgery mean that less invasive techniques are also being developed.
Surgeons spend most of their time in an operating room (OR), either at a hospital or outpatient surgery centre. The non-surgical time is typically spent in an office setting for the pre- and post-operative patient visits and consultations. Research is also an important part of a surgeon’s job to ensure that they remain up-to-date about any new technologies and procedures.
