Specializes in Gynecology

It's possible.: Usually different types of surgeons need to work together to perform these operations. A general surgeon does gallbladder removal as well as appendectomy, whereas, a gynecologist does a hysterectomy. Some gynecologist have privileges to do appendectomies as well.

Technically possible: Technically it's possible but there should be a clear indication for each operation.
