Department FAQ.
Is surgery always necessary?
Not always. Many conditions are initially treated with medication or clinical monitoring. Surgery is only recommended when it is essential or when other treatments are not effective.
How long does recovery take after a surgical procedure?
It depends on the type of operation. Minor procedures may require a few days of recovery, while larger operations may take several weeks. The doctor provides specific guidance for each case.
Are surgical procedures painful?
Procedures are performed under anaesthesia, so patients feel no pain during the operation. Afterwards there may be some discomfort, which is managed with pain-relief medication.
Do you accept international patients?
Yes. Contact your coordinator for logistical details.
Which insurance do you accept?
Intersig, Albsig, SIGAL, Sicred. Without insurance: cost according to the standard rate.
