Overview
The Adult Surgical Unit delivers specialized surgical care for complex gastrointestinal, hepatobiliary, and pancreatic disorders. The unit is equipped to manage both benign and malignant conditions through advanced open and minimally invasive techniques, offering precision-driven interventions, postoperative rehabilitation, and integrated follow-up to support optimal recovery and long-term outcomes.
Scope of the Unit
The Adult Surgical Unit addresses complex conditions requiring operative intervention within the gastrointestinal, biliary, and pancreatic systems. Its remit includes major resections, corrective and restorative procedures, management of abdominal wall and intestinal failure cases, and comprehensive perioperative care, reinforced by integrated anesthesia services and critical-care support.
