Visceral surgery (general)
Visceral (or general) surgery is a medical specialty that focuses on the diagnosis and surgical treatment of conditions affecting the internal organs of the abdomen. This includes organs such as the stomach, intestines, liver, gallbladder, spleen, and pancreas. Visceral surgeons manage a wide range of conditions, from benign diseases to more complex pathologies requiring specialized interventions.
Pathologies treated:
-
Digestive disorders: Treatment of hernias, ulcers, diverticulitis, gallstones, as well as chronic inflammatory bowel diseases (IBD) such as Crohn's disease or ulcerative colitis.
-
Oncological surgery: Management of cancers of the digestive tract (colon, rectum, stomach), liver, pancreas, or endocrine glands.
-
Bariatric surgery: Surgical treatment of severe obesity through techniques such as gastric banding, bypass, or sleeve gastrectomy.
Approaches and Techniques:
The visceral surgeons at our clinic use advanced, minimally invasive techniques such as laparoscopic surgery (keyhole surgery), allowing for faster recovery, less postoperative pain, and smaller scars. Our team of specialists works closely with other doctors at the clinic to provide comprehensive, individualized, and high-quality care.
