GENERAL SURGERY
General surgery is primarily concerned with diseases of the digestive system, which may require conservative or surgical treatment. At PPC Prevention and Longevity Center, we emphasize a personalised approach to each patient, first understanding the problem and then treating it.
MEDICAL
DIGESTIVE SYSTEM DISEASES
It is quite common to experience digestive disorders, as well as difficulties or intolerances to various foods or conditions. These issues can affect organs from the esophagus and stomach to the small and large intestines, hemorrhoids, liver, gallbladder, and pancreas, causing pain, indigestion, colic, heartburn, constipation, or other atypical symptoms. With appropriate examinations and proper treatment, these problems can be permanently resolved. Conditions such as gastroesophageal reflux disease, irritable bowel syndrome, and hemorrhoids can disrupt daily life and burden both physical and mental health. Indicative digestive system diseases: Diaphragmatic hernia, Chololithiasis, Appendicitis, Diverticulitis, Hemorrhoids, Fissure and fistulas, Pilonidal cyst (coccyx),Colon polyps or other benign and malignant conditions.
General surgery also deals with abdominal wall diseases, such as hernias (inguinal, femoral, umbilical, postoperative, and rare hernias), as well as sports hernias or athletic pubalgia, which is usually not a true hernia but requires similar treatment. Hernias should be repaired not only for aesthetic reasons but also to prevent severe symptoms such as pain vomiting and serious complications like ischemia and peritonitis.
