The General and Digestive Surgery Service of HUGTIP attends all those patients who need elective and urgent surgical treatment for diseases of the digestive system, endocrine system, abdominal wall and breast. We perform from simple and minimally invasive procedures to highly complex surgeries in which collaboration between different surgical specialties may be necessary. 

Our team is integrated by more than 30 professionals who offer a wide range of services through the use of the most advanced technology and access to new treatments and even clinical trials. We are national and international referents in complex oncological surgery procedures, liver and pancreatic surgery and obesity surgery using in many cases robotic surgery. 

Always through patient-centered care, our team works with professionals from other surgical and medical specialties to offer the best treatment for each patient in a multidisciplinary manner. 

We are also a Department with a clear teaching vocation, participating in the training of surgeons from our hospital and other centers as well as university students. 

Finally, in our Service we cannot conceive of caring for our patients without making contributions to constantly improve the treatments we offer them; that is why we actively participate in numerous research projects in innovation that have led us to have a relevant role in the international surgical community

Research and innovation (R+I) contribute decisively to advancing healthcare, improving care systems and increasing the population's health expectations.

R&I is a tool to improve the health of the people we serve. Over the last few years, the General and Digestive Surgery Service of Germans Trias i Pujol Hospital has devoted a lot of effort to maintain and increase its research activity thanks to the fact that it has a group of professionals motivated for research.

R&I in our service has had and has a role in the overall objectives of the service and in accordance with the Mission and Vision of the hospital. It is for this reason that a few years ago we proposed as one of our objectives the promotion, coordination and monitoring of clinical, translational and basic Research as well as the Innovation of the General and Digestive Surgery Service.

As a result of this situation, the General and Digestive Surgery Service is carrying out more than 30 national and international research and innovation projects that have resulted in several patents and spin-offs.
