Our Operations

Surgery Department 70C is one of four departments within the area of surgery/urology. We provide highly specialized surgical care with a focus on transplantation surgery, liver/pancreas, and esophagus/stomach surgery. The majority of our operations are planned surgeries, but we also conduct a certain amount of emergency and sub-acute care with direct admissions to the department from our collaborating regions.

The department also includes the transplantation clinic, where our patients come for investigations and follow-ups before and after transplantation. The clinic is partially staffed by personnel from the department. The department has 24 beds staffed by a large and dedicated team of nurses, nursing assistants, doctors, managers, dietitians, physiotherapists, and pharmacists.

We care for many complex patient groups, where continuous education of staff is necessary. To ensure quality and continuity in this work, we are now looking for an educational nurse.
