Research Group on General and Digestive Surgery

Metabolism and Organic Damage Area


The General and Digestive Surgery Group is an extensive research group that is working on various aspects of General and Digestive Surgery. It is made up of different Units (Colorectal, Hepatobiliopancreatic, Esophagogastric and peritoneal carcinomatosis surgery, Endocrine-Metabolic, Breast, and Abdominal Wall). All of them are very active, developing different lines of research, in accordance with the objectives of each Unit, leading to multiple publications annually, many of them multicenter, focused mainly on oncological, endocrine-metabolic and process management aspects.
