        About the Department of General Surgery at Tel Aviv Sourasky Medical Center

        The Department of General Surgery at the Tel Aviv Sourasky Medical Center offers the full range of surgical treatment for patients. It performs both planned and emergency surgical interventions. The department is the leading medical facility in Israel, whose surgeons regularly demonstrate outstanding treatment results. The surgical interventions are performed by experienced doctors who were trained in the most famous American Medical Centers. The department's specialists prefer sparing minimally invasive interventions, which significantly shorten the hospitalization period and minimize the risks of complications. The department is headed by Prof. Dr. med. Joseph Klausner.

        The department specializes in pancreatic, liver and biliary tract surgery, surgical treatment of soft tissue sarcoma and stomach cancer, cytoreductive surgery and hyperthermic intraperitoneal chemotherapy, surgical treatment of obesity, esophagectomy, advanced laparoscopic surgery and other types of surgical procedures.

        The specialists also provide postoperative intensive care, which is an integral part of the patient's recovery. The comprehensive approach, which combines surgical intervention and postoperative care, ensures the best treatment results, which are not inferior to the results of the renowned Surgical Centers in Europe and the United States. The department pays particular attention to an individual approach to the patient and his family, thanks to which the patient and the doctor can establish a confidential contact, which contributes to rapid recovery.

        The department's medical team is not only successfully engaged in clinical practice, but also makes a significant contribution to the development of modern surgery. It carries out fruitful research activities. The special research fields include the development and progression of cancer, as well as its metastasis, angiogenesis and lymphangiogenesis (the formation of blood and lymph vessels), epithelial-mesenchymal transition (EMF), diagnostics and treatment of cancer. The department's doctors also have academic ranks, train medical students, as well as train specialists in various disciplines of general surgery.
