Description of support or specific features

The Department of Digestive Surgery, Oncological and Metabolic of IMM supports the diagnostic and the treatment of all diseases of the adult digestive system: esophagus, stomach, duodenum, pancreas, liver, bile ducts, small intestine, colon, rectum and obesity disease.

The Department of Hepato-Gastroenterology and Proctology at IMM covers all hepato-gastroenterological and proctological pathology.

These medical and surgical teams work in close collaboration in the detection, diagnosis, treatment and monitoring of benign and malignant pathologies of the digestive system in order to continuously improve the quality and safety of care within the framework of a overall patient care (in particular through multidisciplinary consultation meetings).
Minimal invasive surgery (including laparoscopy, endoscopy and interventional echo-endoscopy) as well as short-term hospitalization (including outpatient) constitute for our team the priority axes of our medical offer.
