The Department of General Surgery is a structure able to offer the patient a complete procedure that starts with the simple diagnostic visit for possible surgical treatment and goes up to hospitalization after surgery. Surgical interventions are performed with traditional or mini-invasive techniques, always respecting the patient and when possible giving priority to techniques and methods that make possible a short hospital stay, a quick return to the previous life, a better result good aesthetics and less post-operative pain. The structure has avant-garde equipment and apparatus for laparoscopic surgery and surgical solutions are always offered in collaboration with the imaging department, the gastro-hepatology department, the oncology department and the laboratory.
All laparoscopic operations are performed with the latest technology, with HD equipment and video footage that is always recorded. Both in traditional classic and laparoscopic operations, different devices are used which shorten the operating time and the risks from the operation. Avant-garde structures and equipment produced by well-known firms are also used. Sewing materials, tools and prosthetic materials are also taken in the same way.
Pathologies related to surgery:

Venous system
Surgery of the Inferior Limbs
Types of surgeries:
Oncological Surgery
• Malignant tumor of the esophagus
• Malignant tumor of the cardia and stomach
• Malignant tumor of the small intestine, colon and rectus
• Malignant tumor of the liver
• Malignant tumor of the pancreas
• Malignant breast tumor (with possible prosthetic application)
Among the methods used, especially for colon tumors, an important place is occupied by laparoscopic therapies. Laparoscopic surgery is a variant of classical surgery, i.e. open surgery. It consists in making several cuts or small incisions and then by filling the abdomen with gas, carbon dioxide and by means of special instruments, the surgical procedure is performed.
The Department of General Surgery collaborates with the Department of Oncology for chemotherapy before and/or after surgical intervention for tumor pathology using the most advanced international therapeutic protocols and under the supervision of Italian oncologists.
In colon and rectal cancer, the success of surgery is one of the factors that determines the patient's longevity and chance of surviving the disease. All cases of rectal cancer are discussed by a multidisciplinary staff, and patients with advanced cancer undergo neoadjuvant chemotherapy or radiotherapy first, followed by gold standard surgery. Our team has a very diverse experience in colon and rectal surgery, also applying well-examined cases with laparoscopic surgery of colon and rectal cancer cases.
Surgery plays a major role in the treatment of stomach cancer. In our hospital, all the protocols of the western countries are applied for the management of gastric cancer. Radiological staging is performed for each patient before surgery, and if the cancer is advanced, neoadjuvant chemotherapy is performed and then surgery. Our staff is committed to doing what in gastric cancer surgery is the most important thing, radical or oncological surgery by doing what is called lymphadenectomy.
Abdominal surgery
• Cholecystectomy
• Appendicectomy
• Lymphadenectomy
• Inflammatory and degenerative pathologies of the digestive system (esophagus, stomach, small intestine)
• Benign hepato-pancreatic pathology (pancreatitis, benign liver tumors, etc.)
• Adrenal gland pathology
Among the methods used, especially for gallstones, an important place is occupied by laparoscopic techniques
Among the most frequent pathologies are pathologies of the biliary system. So of the gall bladder and bile ducts. In our hospital, all cholecystectomies are performed using the mini-invasive laparoscopic method. Also, except in cases where there are stones in the gall but also in the bile ducts, in our hospital a procedure is carried out that is continuous, i.e., the release of gallstones by means of an endoscopic procedure called ERCP and then laparoscopic cholecystectomy to finally solve the problem.
Abdominal Paret Surgery
• Hernia of the abdominal wall
• Laparocel
Inguinal and crural hernia surgery is mainly "Day Surgery"
Thyroid Surgery
• Partial or subtotal removal of the thyroid (hemithyroidectomy)
• Complete or total removal of the thyroid (total thyroidectomy)
Thyroid surgery for thyroid pathology is successfully performed in our hospital. Thyroid cancer and benign thyroid diseases involving multimodular goiter, according to the indication of the endocrinologist who is stable in our structure. The most feared thyroid complications are loss of voice, hemorrhage, and the need to take calcium permanently as a result of parathyroid damage. Before choosing a place to perform the operation, visit the Salus hospital.
Phlebological Surgery
• Varicose veins of the lower limbs (saphenectomy)
Minor Surgery
• Surgical intervention with local anesthesia for the removal of: lipomas, sebaceous or fatty cysts, hidradenitis, superficial lymph node biopsy.
• Removal of breast nodules
Esophageal Surgery
• Esophagus surgery
• Esophageal stricture and stenosis
We also treat diseases of the esophagus, or food pipe, which are divided into 2 groups, malignant diseases and benign diseases. Esophageal cancer is treated surgically in our hospital, by means of two methods, which are either trans-hiatal (Orringer method) or thoracotomy (Ivor-Lewis).
We also operate benign esophageal strictures and strictures. Treatment of esophageal strictures or complete/partial narrowing of the food pipe due to accidental or intentional ingestion of corrosive substances is quite difficult.
