Course unit content

General Surgery has profoundly evolved alongside the diagnostic and therapeutic developments of recent years. If for some diseases its indications have been reduced, for others they remain almost unchanged. Therefore, it remains a highly necessary discipline from a clinical, diagnostic, therapeutic, technical point of view as well as a great teaching for the hypothetical-deductive scientific method enriched, always and necessarily, by the notions acquired to date.
