Introduction
The General and Digestive System Surgery Department is made up of specialists in the surgical treatment of gastrointestinal, endocrine and abdominal wall diseases. It also offers emergency surgical assistance in the A&E Department to patients from the assigned Area.
It is a centre of reference in the treatment of certain procedures, such as the different types of gastrointestinal cancer, hepatic metastases, inflammatory bowel disease, morbid obesity, the complex pathology of gastroesophageal reflux, pathology of thyroid, parathyroid and adrenal glands, and advanced laparoscopic surgery (obesity, colon, adrenal glands, gallstones, spleen and gastroesophageal reflux). The first liver transplant programme in Spain started here in 1984.
