General surgeons are physicians who perform surgery to repair an injury, alleviate pain, treat a condition that cannot be remedied with medication alone, or perform elective procedures.  Areas of the body that general surgeons typically treat are the stomach, appendix, liver, intestines, glands, breasts, and skin. Vascular/thoracic surgeons perform general surgery, but also specialize in surgery on the vascular system, which includes arteries and veins, as well as organs inside the thorax (chest), including lungs, chest wall, esophagus, and diaphragm.
