General and Digestive Surgery is a medical specialty focused on the prevention, diagnosis, and surgical treatment of diseases affecting the digestive system, retroperitoneum, endocrine system, breast, abdominal wall, skin, and soft tissues.

All treatments are supported by the latest diagnostic techniques and performed using the latest advances in laparoscopic and robotic surgery. Whenever possible, we opt for minimally invasive procedures. Our goal is for patients to return to their normal physical and work activities quickly, while achieving the best aesthetic and functional results.

Patients with health issues related to the digestive system, abdominal wall, and other mentioned areas should consult a specialist for diagnosis and, if necessary, surgical treatment.

Some of the key conditions treated include:

• · Hernias, rectus diastasis, and abdominal wall pathology
• Skin and soft tissue surgical conditions
• Benign and malignant tumors
• Hepatobiliary and pancreatic surgery
• Spleen surgery
• Hiatal hernia surgery
• Gastrointestinal surgery
• Polyps and colorectal cancer
• · Fissures, hemorrhoids, and fistulas
• · Anal incontinence
• · Pelvic floor disorders
• · Bariatric surgery (obesity)
• · Diabetes surgery
• Major outpatient surgery
• · Thyroid and parathyroid surgery
• · Breast surgery
• · Acute appendicitis
• · Diverticular disease of the colon and diverticulitis
• · Foreign body removal
• · Intestinal obstruction
• · Perforations and bleeding
• · Trauma injuries

Diagnostic tools such as imaging tests, colonoscopies, and gastroscopies are the main diagnosis means used by experts in general and digestive system surgery. Additional tests, such as anorectal ultrasounds, manometry, and high-resolution anoscopy in coloproctology, may also be conducted.

Apart from surgical treatment (open, laparoscopic, or robotic surgery), general and digestive surgeons collaborate with other healthcare professionals to provide comprehensive care.

In addition to surgical treatment, both with open surgery (in fewer cases) and laparoscopic surgery (most of the time), or even robotic surgery, general and digestive system surgeons also perform other types of treatments, either independently or in collaboration with other medical professionals.
