General surgery in Vienna at the highest level
General surgery
Prevention, diagnosis, and treatment in Vienna
General surgery focuses on the prevention, diagnosis, and treatment of diseases, injuries, and congenital abnormalities. In addition, general surgeons are also responsible for post-operative care and the rehabilitation of patients after surgical procedures.
Due to the complexity of this medical field, our focus in general surgery is on basic surgical care as well as visceral surgery.
Every procedure is preceded by a detailed medical history consultation and a physical examination. Based on this, we determine which preoperative examinations are required and which surgical technique should be used to achieve the best possible outcome.
In all examinations, procedures, and treatments, we aim to apply modern minimally invasive surgical techniques whenever possible. The advantages for our patients are clear: less blood loss and a lower complication rate during surgery result in reduced pain and a minimal risk of infection after the procedure. This leads to a faster recovery, better cosmetic results, and improved overall well-being. If minimally invasive techniques are not suitable, we use conventional surgical methods, always ensuring the highest level of care and precision.
Another important focus of our work is close coordination between patients and their social environment, as well as their general practitioner and specialist doctors. This ensures seamless care and support for all medical, nursing, and social aspects before and after surgery.

Frequently asked questions about general surgery
- When is surgery necessary?
A surgical procedure becomes necessary when conservative treatment methods are no longer sufficient or when a condition requires targeted surgical intervention. At our office in Vienna, we provide individual consultations and carefully assess whether surgery is required.
- What procedures are performed in general surgery?
The range includes minor outpatient procedures as well as more complex surgical treatments. These include procedures on the skin and soft tissues, hernias, and other general surgical conditions.
- Are the procedures performed on an outpatient basis?
Many general surgical procedures can today be performed on an outpatient and minimally invasive basis. Whether an outpatient procedure is possible is assessed individually during a personal consultation.
- What is minimally invasive surgery?
Minimally invasive procedures are particularly gentle surgical techniques that require only small incisions. This reduces the strain on the body and allows for faster healing.
- How does the treatment work?
The treatment begins with a detailed examination and consultation. We then plan the procedure together with you and also support you during follow-up care to ensure an optimal healing process.
- How long does healing take after a procedure?
The healing time depends on the type of procedure. For minimally invasive techniques, recovery is usually shorter. We will inform you in detail in advance about the expected course of healing.
- What are the risks of surgical procedures?
Every surgical procedure carries certain risks. In a personal consultation, we provide you with comprehensive information about possible risks and the procedure, so that you can make an informed decision.
