General surgery is a specialty of medicine that studies acute and chronic diseases treated by means of surgery. Modern surgery in Vienna is recognized for its latest developments and techniques, innovation and uniqueness, that is unparalleled in the world. At the same time, surgery in Vienna is minimally invasive, which means that it is non-traumatic, bloodless and sparing for the whole body. The examples of minimally invasive techniques are laparoscopy, NOTES-technique (endoscopic surgery performed through natural orifices) and laser surgery.
Surgery in Vienna involves surgical treatment and detection of diseases in such areas as:
Surgery in Vienna is an indisputable leader due to the use of the latest techniques and ultramodern equipment. It helps to avoid a number of serious complications in the postoperative period, such as bleeding, infections, formation of adhesions and scarring.
Highly qualified doctors in Vienna provide patients with a painless postoperative period, which contributes to the quickest recuperation and social recovery. Most often, it is possible to perform surgical treatment in a day hospital or in outpatient treatment settings.
In Vienna, the medical services provided by the clinics cover almost all types of abdominal diseases (pancreatic, adrenal and esophageal surgeries) as well as thyroid and parathyroid diseases. For this purpose, the clinics offer a 24-hour care service – experienced and helpful doctors monitor their patients’ health around the clock.

The priority objective of the clinics in Vienna is to provide the best and most effective treatment for the widest range of diseases and to create comfortable and favorable conditions for patients. The modern technical environment of the operating theatres and the use of advanced, minimally invasive surgical techniques for the treatment of various diseases make it possible to significantly increase the efficiency of surgical interventions and avoid a number of possible complications.
The strength of the clinics in Vienna lies in the professional care and comprehensive systemic patient-centered treatment. They provide medical services in accordance with the highest standards and taking into account all the requirements of the quality control system.
Performing surgical interventions to treat all types of benign and malignant tumors of the digestive tract, as well as liver surgery, pancreatic surgery, adrenal surgery and thyroid surgery. Doctors in Vienna provide treatment for all stages of the tumor and its recurrence.
Patients are offered the following services: stomacare, nutrition counseling, anesthesiological services, psychological oncology, palliative care, social services, etc.
Doctors in Vienna have many years of experience in the treatment of pancreatic diseases and are recognized experts in the field of pancreatic surgery, a very complex and multi-component surgical treatment. General and visceral surgery in Vienna presents the entire range of surgical procedures for the treatment of benign and malignant pancreatic tumors.
Minimally invasive surgery (laparoscopic surgery, keyhole surgery) is an integral part of a wide range of surgical techniques (treatment of colon and rectal diseases, spleen surgery, hernia surgery, surgery for adrenal gland tumors).
Therapeutic procedures aimed at the treatment of chronic inflammatory intestinal diseases are carried out in close collaboration with the Department of Internal Medicine and Gastroenterology.
Proctological surgery in Vienna. Over the years, the clinics have established an excellent reputation in the field of treatment of proctological diseases (surgical treatment of anal diseases, pelvic floor surgery).
Nowadays, doctors in Vienna are able to cope with all the tasks successfully thanks to laparoscopy which gives them the possibility to receive exhaustive information about the disease and develop the best policy of further treatment for patients. In Vienna, thanks to the latest achievements in medical science and technology, scientists have managed to raise this technique to a qualitatively new level. By using it, they perform a thorough inspection of all the areas of the abdomen with minimal damage to the tissues, record and broadcast images, which makes it possible for several specialists to participate in the diagnostic process, simplify medical guidelines and, if necessary, pass on to surgical correction of the detected pathology.
Thanks to the active use of video laparoscopy, it has become possible to minimize the percentage of late operations resulting from prolonged dynamic observation of the patient, groundless appendectomies in case of uncomplicated catarrhal appendicitis, explorative laparotomy, open surgeries for enzymatic peritonitis against the background of acute pancreatitis, pelvioperitonitis in case of acute salpingitis, as well as a whole range of other laparotomy interventions that can be very well avoided.
In addition, minimally invasive laparoscopic surgeries are indispensable in cases when it is necessary to obtain material for morphological verification of the diagnosis, in particular, when it comes to tumor lesions of the lungs, breast, ovaries, bones, etc. The reason for this is that the choice of oncological treatment should be strictly linked to the histotype of the tumor, its structure and the degree of differentiation of its cellular elements.
As for therapeutic operations, they can be radical or palliative in nature, i.e. they can either cure the patient from the disease or just make him/her feel better.
Any surgical intervention can be roughly divided into three important stages: in the first stage, the doctor provides access to the internal organs and structures; in the second one, he or she performs therapeutic manipulations; and in the final, third one the doctor restores the integrity of the dissected tissues. At the present time the prerogative is wholly devoted to sparing surgical procedures that are distinguished by less blood loss and no unnecessary damage to the patient’s body.
Experienced, highly qualified doctors in Vienna who have at their disposal all the necessary ultramodern medical equipment are proficient in performing such minimally invasive interventions.
