The surgeon's constant specialization is decisive in the decision making process before the surgical patient"

Modern surgery implies a constant need for recycling, but the speed at which changes and advances in techniques and procedures occur, and the amount of scientific documentation published every week on new treatments, make it almost impossible for a specialist to reconcile his updating with his daily clinical and surgical practice.

Inguinal hernia surgery is undoubtedly one of the most frequently performed surgeries in our environment and involves the knowledge of a wide variety of surgical maneuvers, incision and dissection of various structures, localization of certain points and, finally, the learning of numerous repair techniques, so that a constant specialization in this field becomes essential for the development of the up-to-date practice. On the other hand, abdominal surgery frequently includes the surgical treatment of inguinocrural hernias, eventrations and the open abdominal technique, a technique that can be used in damage control surgery after severe abdominal trauma, in secondary peritonitis, in the treatment or prevention of abdominal compartment syndrome and when repeated laparotomies are required to check intestinal viability.

In addition, surgery for nodular thyroid gland disorders is very frequent, and requires a good knowledge of the anatomy of the neck, and a meticulous and well-regulated surgical technique. Despite the considerable risk of complications in surgery of the thyroid and parathyroid glands, these are rare when the surgeon has a thorough knowledge of all aspects of their physiology and pathology, and is well acquainted with the anatomy of the neck.
