General surgery effectively treats multiple pathologies requiring surgical intervention, covering the abdomen, abdominal wall, digestive system, thyroid gland, and other organs. It is a speciality that combines clinical assessment with surgical intervention, always seeking the safest and most effective option for each patient.
At HLA La Salud, the general surgery department works in close collaboration with the gastroenterology team, enabling a more precise diagnosis and better surgical planning.
If you present any of these problems, an assessment by a general surgeon in Cádiz allows the diagnosis to be confirmed and the most appropriate treatment to be planned.
Inguinal, umbilical, epigastric and abdominal wall hernias are among the most frequent procedures in general surgery. When a hernia causes pain, increases in size or there is a risk of strangulation, surgery is the definitive treatment. The procedure can be performed via laparoscopy, which allows for a faster recovery and less post-operative discomfort.
Cholecylithiasis — the presence of gallstones in the gallbladder — and cholecystitis — inflammation of the gallbladder, usually associated with gallstones — are common causes of abdominal pain. Laparoscopic cholecystectomy, the removal of the gallbladder using a minimally invasive technique, is usually the treatment of choice, resulting in a rapid recovery and minimal discomfort.
Acute appendicitis requires surgery. Laparoscopic intervention allows for effective resolution with a quicker recovery than traditional open surgery.
Thyroid nodules, goitre or tumours requiring surgical removal. Thyroid surgery is a procedure that requires precise technique to preserve adjacent structures, especially the parathyroid glands and the recurrent laryngeal nerve.
Lipomas, sebaceous cysts, abscesses, fistulas, and other soft tissue lesions requiring outpatient or short-stay surgery.
Laparoscopy allows many procedures to be performed through small incisions, with the advantages of less postoperative pain, faster recovery, lower risk of infection and better cosmetic results. At HLA La Salud we prioritise minimally invasive techniques when the condition and the patient's circumstances permit.
Surgical procedures performed through minimal incisions using cameras and high-resolution optics, avoiding the trauma of open surgery.
Minimal aggression to abdominal tissues drastically reduces postoperative discomfort and accelerates the hospital discharge of our patients.
Notable decrease in the rate of postsurgical infections, lower risk of incisional hernias and excellent cosmetic outcomes.
