Neurosurgery is a surgical discipline that specializes in the central nervous system (brain, spinal cord) and the peripheral nervous system (peripheral nerves).

Here are some pathologies treated in this specialty:

• The herniated disc

• Brain tumors

• Hydrocephalus

• Head injury

• Spinal trauma with vertebral fractures

• Intramedullary tumor

• Subarachnoid hemorrhage

Orthopedic surgery is a discipline treating all diseases of the musculoskeletal system (bones, joints, muscles, tendons and nerves). It includes the surgical treatment of the upper extremity (shoulder, elbow and hand), lower extremity (hip, knee and foot) and spine.

This surgical discipline treats:

• Fractures & Dislocations

• Ligament and tendon injuries

• Prosthetic replacements

• Arthritis

• Foot surgery

• The spine (scoliosis)

• By arthroscopic surgery

Gynecological surgery focuses on the women genitalia: vulva, vagina, uterus, ovaries, fallopian tubes and breasts.

Obstetrical surgery is in turn, for patients requiring cesarean sections.

As for the surgery of the uterus and its annexes, several surgical approaches are possible:

• through an abdominal incision.

• via natural orifices.

• Via "endoscopy", using a suitable camera and instruments inserted through small abdominal incisions or by natural orifices. Less invasive, this method shortens recovery time.

General surgery essentially focuses on the abdominal wall and pelvic organs. Thus, general surgeons treat disorders of the digestive system but also other non-digestive intra-abdominal organs such as the spleen or the endocrine glands like the thyroid. This discipline also addresses the treatment of hemorrhoids and excision of rectal tumors.

Our surgeons perform:

• Conventional surgery, laparotomy

• Laparoscopy which consists of introducing a camera and suitable instruments through small abdominal incisions to carry out certain procedures. The typical example is that of cholecystectomy: removal of the gallbladder.

Oncology is a medical specialty for diagnosis and treatment of all types of cancer.

The diagnosis of cancer is based on several components: symptoms, biological tests, clinical tests, and imaging (radiography, CT scan, magnetic resonance imaging (MRI), positron emission tomography (PET) scans, etc.)

Evidence of cancer is provided by a sample (biopsy) of the tumor and its microscopic analysis performed by the pathologist.

Treatment decisions are taken in a concerted manner, which is to say between physicians and surgeons of different specialties in order to begin appropriate treatment:

• Surgery is often a prerequisite in many cases of cancer.

• Chemotherapy

• Radiotherapy

• Brachytherapy

• Immunotherapy

• Hormonal Therapy

• Thermotherapy

Ophthalmology is a specialty responsible for eye disease treatment. It consists of a medical branch, and a surgical branch. The specialist doctor is called an “ophthalmologist".

This discipline treats all diseases of the eye from simple chalazion, cataract, glaucoma up to the tumor of the eyeball.

Plastic surgery specializes in reshaping a form of the human body.

It can also be used to repair a body part as in severe burns or in accidents.

The major areas of activity are:

• Plastic surgery

• Surgery of severely burned patients

• Reconstructive surgery

Pediatric surgery addresses children with potential surgical pathologies arousing from birth to adolescence. These conditions concern digestive and visceral pediatric surgery, pediatric orthopedic and trauma surgery, pediatric thoracic surgery, pediatric urinary and genital surgery, pediatric reconstructive surgery, pediatric ophthalmic surgery and finally pediatric cancer surgery.

It supports full surgical emergencies of all specialties.
