General and digestive surgery
General surgery includes operations on the gastrointestinal tract, bile duct, spleen, pancreas, liver, rectum and breast, as well as hernias of the abdominal wall. It also includes surgery on the thyroid gland and related structures. In these areas of surgery, a specialist is not required, although the general surgeon may specialize in some of them. But this is not the same in all countries. In some, verticalization in one of its surgical branches is considered one more specialty and superspecialization is understood as superspecialization.
The specialty requires great clinical knowledge as well as manual skills. Most general surgical procedures require similar instruments except for rectal, breast, and thyroid procedures, which require more specialized instruments.
General and digestive surgery is a surgical specialty that focuses on the surgical treatment of abdominal organs:
Esophagus
Stomach
Liver

Large intestine
In Spain, to be a general surgeon you have to graduate in medicine and then specialize in general and digestive surgery.
