Make a Difference. Every Day.

The Surgical and Gastroenterology Unit (VO) at Skåne University Hospital (Sus) is one of Sweden's largest surgical units for the care of patients with surgical and gastroenterological diseases. VO provides surgical inpatient and outpatient care in Lund, Malmö, and Landskrona.

In Lund, the operations include esophagus/stomach, endocrine/sarcoma, hepato-pancreatico-biliary, and emergency surgery. There is also a regional trauma center. In Malmö, the operations are similarly divided into pelvic floor, colorectal, breast/melanoma surgery, as well as emergency and laparoscopic/abdominal wall surgery. Trauma level 1 is managed in both Lund and Malmö. In Landskrona, large volumes of elective laparoscopic/abdominal wall surgery are performed.

Within VO Surgery and Gastroenterology, there is significant research activity with both clinical and experimental focus. Teaching for healthcare personnel, medical students, and AT/ST doctors is an important part of the work. Patient care is provided in a multidisciplinary manner with the ambition to offer care of the highest quality based on science and respect for patients.
