In the Surgery Clinic of the Coltea Hospital we approach a wide variety of surgical diseases, with emphasis on laparoscopic and oncologic surgery and special interest on oncologic surgery of the breast, colon and rectum.

We treat surgical diseases such as:

  • surgery of abdominal wall defects – open and laparoscopic;
  • breast surgery – benign pathology and malignant conservative, radical, oncoplastic pathology;
  • varicose veins surgery – classical treatment, endovenous, sclerotherapy under VeinLite control;
  • hepatic surgery – open and laparoscopic;
  • gallbladder and biliary tract surgery - open, laparoscopic and videoendoscopic;
  • hepatic hydatid cyst surgery – open and laparoscopic;
  • surgery of the pancreas (chronic and acute pancreatitis, cancer, subtotal and total resections, pancreatic-digestive derivatives);
  • surgery of esogastric junction for benign afflictions (gastroesophageal reflux, hiatal hernia, achalasia) or malignant – open and laparoscopic;
  • surgery of benign and malignant afflictions of the stomach, duodenum, small intestine, colon and rectum – open or laparoscopic;
  • spleen surgery – open or laparoscopic;
  • surgery of benign and malignant gynecological diseases – open or laparoscopic;
  • surgery of anal and perianal regions;
  • surgery of soft tissue infections.

Moreover, the Surgery Clinic benefits from a core of diagnostic and therapeutic digestive endoscopy, with 7 of the surgeons being competent at endoscopy.

The ultrasound explorations on patients hospitalized in the Surgery Clinic are performed by surgeons with competence in breast and abdominal ultrasound.

The theoretical and practical training for students in the IVth and Vth year is conducted according to the specific curricula established by the 10th Department and includes basic surgical knowledge regarding patient care, surgical clinical examination, surgical techniques and available treatment methods.

The scientific research training for students focuses on guidance of the teaching staff in writing papers and presenting them at different student scientific conferences. Also, students can work on their graduation thesis on topics related to surgical diseases encountered in practice.

During residency, we give young physicians from surgical specialties the opportunity to develop both professionally and academically.

In the Surgery Clinic there has been developed a series of research programs and clinical studies, as a continuous preoccupation VIASAN, RELANSIN and CEEX programs:

  • VIASAN 348 – The role of the sentinel lymph node in staging and prognostic of colorectal cancer; 2004-2006;
