Haut-Valais General Surgery Visp

The Surgical Clinic at the Upper Valais Hospital Centre comprises the General Surgery & Visceral Surgery Department, the Traumatology Department, the ENT Department and the Urology Department.

In addition to traumatology of the musculoskeletal system, the range of services offered by the surgical clinic includes a broad spectrum of general surgery, visceral surgery (surgery of the internal organs), vascular surgery and thoracic surgery.

In visceral surgery and general surgery in particular, many procedures are also carried out using the so-called laparoscopic technique (keyhole surgery).

In trauma surgery, many operations can be performed arthroscopically or, thanks to the new implants, with very small incisions that are gentle on the tissue.

All consultations and surgical procedures take place at the Visp site. 

The surgical clinic has 50 inpatient and 10 day surgery beds and is divided into two large surgical departments as well as the weekly clinic and outpatient day clinic.

Our team of surgeons consists of broadly trained general surgeons. In addition, each specialist has a speciality and acts as the primary contact person in that area.

Our emergency ward is available 24 hours a day for surgical emergencies.

We treat less urgent cases in our private and specialised consultation hours. Registration takes place via the surgical secretariat.
