Surgery

Its activities include the full range of general surgery (oesophageal, gastric, colorectal, rectal, pancreatic, liver, biliary, breast, and endocrine surgery) as well as thoracic, vascular, and transplant surgery.

The introduction of minimally invasive techniques over the past decade has been a milestone in the development of the surgical profession. The undeniable advantage of this method is that it has changed almost every aspect of surgery, reduced nursing time, and completely eliminated many traditional procedures from clinical practice. The Clinic has played a pioneering role in the introduction and dissemination of minimally invasive surgical techniques in Hungary. We were the first in the country to perform several new types of surgery in the field of general and thoracic surgery, which have since become routine procedures. Almost all types of work performed at the clinic are recognised both nationally and internationally.

Treatments and surgical techniques used by the doctor

“The treatment of body surface processes (e.g. atheroma, lipoma, ingrown toenail) is performed under local or general anaesthesia in outpatient settings.

In the case of abdominal lesions (e.g. gallstones, inguinal hernias, colon tumours), I perform surgery under general anaesthesia, usually using a minimally invasive technique (laparoscopy), which is much less stressful for the patient and ensures a shorter recovery period after surgery.

Patients with proctology complaints undergo complex proctology examinations (detailed patient history, anoscopy, rectoscopy, rectum ultrasound), with therapies ranging from medically assisted treatments to small procedures performed in ambulatory settings (e.g. ringing of internal haemorrhoids, dissection, excision, threading) as well as procedures that can be performed under general anaesthesia (e.g. haemorrhoids, rectal polyps, surgical repair of fistulas).

Just as in abdominal surgery, I strive to use modern, minimally invasive solutions (sphincter-sparing, non-tissue-removing surgery and DG-HAL-RAR) in proctology, with maximum consideration for quality of life factors.”
