Surgery is a word of Greek origin that associates the words "hand" and "operation": where drugs are not suitable to solve the problem, the surgeon's hands come into play, aided by specific instrumentation and technology.
Surgery is a vast area of medicine, encompassing operations with different purposes: removing tissue, opening obstructions, connecting arteries and veins to other districts, repairing fractures or closing wounds, up to organ transplantation. All these activities - united by "doing with the hands" - were originally taken over by one type of surgeon; today they have been divided into various specialties and subspecialties, with dedicated and officially recognized training paths.
All EOC surgical activities are practiced at Ospedale Regionale di Lugano, Ospedale Regionale di Bellinzona, Ospedale Regionale di Mendrisio, and Ospedale Regionale di Locarno.
