General Surgery

GENERAL SURGERY

The General Surgery clinical activity at Auxologico is aimed at the diagnosis and surgical treatment of all pathologies of surgical interest (from benign and malignant tumours of the colon-rectum,  thyroid tumours, gallbladder, inguinal hernia, haemorrhoids, rhagades  and many others). 
Surgeons use the latest and safest surgical techniques, employing both traditional and minimally invasive procedures resulting in less surgical trauma and in faster recovery times for the patient. 

MINIMALLY INVASIVE SURGERY

The team's experience in minimally invasive (laparoscopic) surgery allows these methods to be applied to most abdominal diseases according to the guidelines in international literature: this approach allows earlier discharge and less painful and less complex post-surgery procedures, with optimal aesthetic results and a faster return to work and social life.
Outpatient activities are carried at all Auxologico sites, where the  Diagnostic Imaging equipment (traditional radiology, magnetic resonance imaging, CT scans and ultrasound scans) allows for a correct and fast diagnostic assessment.  
Surgery is performed in the operating theatres of Capitanio Hospital, in the centre of Milan, where post-surgery assistance is also provided.
