Best FCPS General Surgeon in Dhaka & Bangladesh

About general surgeons in Bangladesh

A general surgeon operates on the abdomen, digestive organs, breast, skin and soft tissues, and handles many emergency operations. Common operations include removal of the gall bladder, hernia repair, appendix surgery and removal of lumps.

Most general surgeons in Bangladesh hold an FCPS (Surgery) or MS (General Surgery), and many perform laparoscopic (keyhole) surgery, which usually means smaller cuts, less pain and a shorter hospital stay. Ask your surgeon whether your operation can be done laparoscopically.

How to choose the right general surgeon

Qualifications: General surgeons in Bangladesh usually hold FCPS (Surgery), MS (General Surgery), FRCS; fellowships in laparoscopic surgery. Each doctor's degrees are shown on their profile above.

Registration: every MBBS and BDS doctor must be registered with the Bangladesh Medical and Dental Council (BMDC). You can check a doctor's registration number on the BMDC website.

Hospital and chamber: a general surgeon attached to a medical college or large hospital has easy access to tests and admission if you need them. For regular follow-up, a chamber close to home with convenient visiting hours often matters just as much.

Experience with your problem: many specialists have a special interest within their field. Read the designation and degrees on each profile, and ask at the first visit how often the doctor treats your condition.
