The method is determined according to the disease, surgical requirements, previous operations and the patients general health.

Liver, Gallbladder and Bile Duct Surgery

Gallstones, gallbladder inflammation, bile duct diseases, liver cysts and liver tumors may be evaluated within general surgery. When necessary, a multidisciplinary approach involving gastroenterology, radiology and oncology may be used.

Stomach and Intestinal Surgery

For surgical diseases involving the stomach, small intestine, colon and rectum, diagnostic results and imaging records are reviewed and appropriate treatment options are evaluated. In patients with suspected or diagnosed cancer, surgical planning may be carried out together with the oncology team.

Hernia Surgery

Open or laparoscopic surgical options may be considered for inguinal, umbilical, incisional and abdominal wall hernias. The method is determined by the specialist surgeon according to the type and size of the hernia and the patients general health.
