General Surgery is a vast and fundamental surgical specialty that deals with the treatment of a wide spectrum of pathologies primarily affecting the organs of the abdominal cavity (such as stomach, small and large intestine, liver, pancreas, gallbladder, spleen), but whose field of action also extends to the breast (senology), thyroid and parathyroid glands (endocrine surgery), abdominal wall hernias (inguinal, umbilical, incisional), and emergency surgery (appendicitis, intestinal obstructions, perforations). The modern approach to this discipline favors, whenever technically possible and oncologically safe, minimally invasive techniques, particularly laparoscopic surgery. This method, which uses small incisions and a camera, offers significant advantages for the patient compared to traditional “open” surgery, including less surgical trauma, reduced post-operative pain, shorter hospital stays, and faster functional recovery with better aesthetic results. Our specialists treat benign and malignant pathologies in various fields, including oncological surgery, colorectal surgery (diseases of the colon, rectum, and anus), basic vascular surgery, and bariatric surgery (for pathological obesity). Each surgical pathway is carefully planned, with a multidisciplinary pre-operative assessment and accurate follow-up.
