a gynecologist is a surgeon and some general surgeons will shy away from performing surgery involving the female tract since ob/gyns are more familiar and skilled in this area. if there is some concern about the need for your surgery you should see another gyn for a second opinion not a general surgeon.
are gynecologists considered surgeons. . i have to have a laporascopic hysterectomy and wondering the difference? someone recommended seeing a surgeon before having my obgyn perform this hysterectomy.
