Visceral surgery
The digestive organs, abdominal wall, spleen and endocrine glands — predominantly through micro-incisions, with a short recovery.
About the specialty
An operation through portals instead of an incision
Visceral surgery covers the digestive organs, the abdominal wall and abdominal organs that are not part of digestion — the spleen and endocrine glands, including the thyroid. Surgical oncology and proctology belong here as well.
Alongside classical laparotomy, coelioscopy is used: instruments and a camera optic are introduced through micro-incisions, allowing the organs to be observed directly. Less tissue damage during the operation — a shorter rehabilitation.
At the partner clinic visceral surgery is a stand-alone section with a full range of procedures, and the methods rest on current clinical and biomedical research.

Questions and answers
Frequent questions
How much does treatment cost in Switzerland?
The cost depends on the diagnosis, the scope of investigations and the programme chosen. We request an estimate from the clinic and pass it to you before treatment starts — with a clear note of what it includes.
Can I get a professor’s opinion without travelling to Switzerland?
Yes. We arrange a review of your documents and a second opinion from a specialist professor — before the trip is planned.
How long does it take to organise the trip?
Usually 5–10 working days — depending on urgency and whether a visa is needed.
Do I need to speak a foreign language?
No. A medical interpreter accompanies you at appointments and stays in touch throughout your stay in Switzerland.
Why CorSwiss rather than going to the clinic directly?
We are your independent representative and full-cycle medical concierge. We match the best specialist for your case across Switzerland, not inside one clinic, arrange a second opinion and agree a transparent estimate before treatment starts. From there everything is in one pair of hands: a medical visa, flights and transfers, accommodation — including for companions, a personal medical interpreter at every appointment and a 24/7 assistant for any practical question. Your personal medical manager stays with the case from the first enquiry until you return home — and remains in touch afterwards: we follow results remotely and coordinate follow-up.
