The Department of Surgery has two focuses: general and abdominal surgery, as well as orthopedics and traumatology. The medical teams specializing in these two focuses consist of experienced surgeons. The treatment is provided on an inpatient and outpatient basis. Due to sparing surgical techniques (minimally invasive surgery) and ongoing postoperative monitoring by a surgeon or an anesthesiologist, there can be performed even outpatient major surgery.
