Frequently Asked Questions – General and Digestive Surgery

What is laparoscopic surgery and what are its advantages?
Laparoscopic surgery is a type of minimally invasive surgery that allows procedures to be performed without the need for large incisions. Through small openings, a high-definition camera and surgical instruments are inserted, enabling the surgeon to operate with great precision and less impact on the patient.

Thanks to this technique, recovery is usually faster, with less postoperative pain, lower risk of complications, and smaller scars compared to traditional open surgery.

Some of the procedures performed using laparoscopy include:

Gallbladder surgery (cholecystectomy)

Abdominal hernia surgery

Appendicitis surgery

Colon and rectal surgery

Bariatric surgery

Gastroesophageal reflux and stomach surgery

Adrenal gland and pancreatic surgery
What does bariatric surgery involve?
Bariatric surgery is the surgical treatment for obesity when conventional measures such as diet, exercise, or medical treatment have not achieved the expected results. Its goal is not only weight loss, but also improving health and obesity-related conditions such as diabetes, hypertension, sleep apnea, and joint problems.

Most procedures are performed using laparoscopic surgery, allowing for faster recovery and less surgical trauma.

The most common procedures include:
- Sleeve gastrectomy
- Gastric bypass
- Revisional bariatric surgery
Before surgery, patients undergo a comprehensive evaluation by a multidisciplinary team to provide the most appropriate treatment and personalised follow-up throughout the entire process.
What types of breast surgery are performed by the General Surgery Department at Hospital Ascires?
The General and Digestive Surgery Department treats both benign breast conditions and breast cancer, providing personalised care in coordination with other specialties such as Gynecology, Radiology, Oncology, and Nuclear Medicine.

The goal is to achieve an accurate diagnosis and plan the most appropriate surgical procedure for each patient, using techniques that provide greater precision and the best possible functional and aesthetic outcomes.

The most common procedures include:
- Removal of benign nodules and lesions
- Breast-conserving surgery
- Mastectomy
- Sentinel lymph node biopsy
- Breast oncological surgery
In addition, all cases are evaluated through a multidisciplinary approach to provide comprehensive treatment tailored to each clinical situation.
