Abdominal Surgery
Abdominal surgery deals with the diagnosis and treatment of diseases of the organs located in the abdominal cavity, including the stomach, intestines, liver, gallbladder and pancreas. Since the abdomen is the central part of our body and contains many vital organs, it is important to take any changes or pain in this region seriously. A timely examination by an abdominal surgeon can detect potential problems in time, prevent serious complications and maintain the health of the digestive system.

The appearance of hernias - protrusions in the navel or groin area

The surgical examination includes a detailed medical history, a clinical examination of the abdominal region, and additional diagnostics as needed (ultrasound, CT, laboratory tests). The goal is to accurately assess the condition of the abdominal organs and plan optimal treatment.
After determining the indications, surgery is planned - emergency or elective, depending on the severity of the condition and the patient's symptoms.
If inflammation or infection is suspected, additional analyzes are performed to determine the cause and targeted treatment.
