Surgery is the medical practice of curing and relieving diseases through manual interventions in the body. We conduct research and training in various surgical fields, including traumatology, vascular surgery, cancer surgery and abdominal wall surgery. By opening, repairing or removing, we restore health and enable a better life. Surgery is a dynamic discipline that is constantly evolving to meet the complex needs of the changing landscape of the human body.
