• Soft tissue conditions: Certain lumps, cysts, abscesses and other conditions affecting the skin or underlying tissues.
• Abdominal conditions: Selected conditions affecting the abdominal organs may require surgical assessment and treatment.
• Anorectal conditions: Certain disorders affecting the anus and rectum may require surgical management.
