General and digestive surgery in Palma
At Clinic Santa Maria we offer a comprehensive and personalized medical approach in general and digestive surgery. We value your health with expert care, advanced technology and a highly qualified team.
Why is general and digestive surgery important?
General and digestive surgery is a key specialty to address multiple conditions that affect your daily well-being. From abdominal hernias to colorectal, skin or venous system problems, these pathologies can cause pain, limit your mobility or affect your quality of life if not treated correctly.
Do you feel persistent discomfort, have you been given different diagnoses and still don’t know which option is the best? This is where this specialty becomes essential: it allows you to accurately assess, diagnose and treat a wide variety of clinical conditions, tailoring each intervention to your particular case.
At Clinic Santa Maria, we don’t just see a symptom: we see the person. That is why our approach is not only surgical, but also preventive, conservative and oriented to global treatment, taking into account your physical and emotional state. Our goal is not to operate, but to find the best solution for you.
Possibility of both face-to-face and online consultations, through video or telephone consultation. We have a system for generating and sending electronic prescriptions electronically.
Appointment required: The service requires an appointment.
Hours of operation: Monday to Friday from 10 a.m. to 1 p.m. and from 4 p.m. to 6 p.m.
Appointment hours: Monday to Friday from 10:00 am to 6:00 pm.
How do we perform general and digestive surgery at Clinic Santa Maria?
Each patient is unique, and so should be their treatment. At Clinic Santa Maria we always start with a personalized assessment, which includes physical examination, emotional analysis and, if necessary, complementary diagnostic tests such as ultrasound, CT or MRI.
Is the shoulder pain really in the joint or does it reflect a digestive problem? Is intervention necessary or can it be treated conservatively? These are the questions we ask ourselves before making decisions. We analyze your case globally, without overlooking any detail, to give you a clear and honest answer.
We have unique equipment in the area, such as the 12-chamber monitored lymphatic drainage system or cellulite treatment using shock waves, which allow us to approach conditions from different angles. We treat, but we also listen, inform and accompany you every step of the way.
For whom is clinical general medicine recommended?
Clinical general medicine is recommended for all those who wish to take preventive care of their health, resolve non-specific symptoms or receive clear and complete medical guidance. From children as young as 6 years old to older adults, any patient can benefit from a first medical consultation that evaluates their physical and emotional state as a whole.
Do you have persistent fatigue, recurrent aches and pains, digestive changes, or just doubts about your health? General practice acts as a gateway to the healthcare system, allowing us to identify warning signs, order specific tests or refer you to the appropriate specialist if necessary.
At Clinic Santa Maria, we understand that behind every symptom there is a story. That’s why we listen to you, explain and walk with you towards a personalized medical solution. Shall we start today?

Frequently Asked Questions about General and Digestive Surgery
What kind of diseases does general and digestive surgery treat?
General and digestive surgery deals with a wide variety of pathologies that mainly affect the digestive tract, abdominal wall, skin and soft tissues. Among the most frequent are inguinal or umbilical hernias, inflamed gall bladder, hemorrhoids, anal fissures, varicose veins, as well as skin lesions that require surgical removal. More complex procedures are also included, such as colorectal surgery or the treatment of liver and pancreatic diseases. At Clinic Santa Maria we study each case comprehensively to offer safe, personalized solutions with the least possible impact on your daily life.
When is it necessary to visit a digestive surgeon?
It is advisable to visit when there are persistent discomforts such as abdominal pain, changes in bowel transit, bloating, anal bleeding, feeling of a lump in the groin or navel, among others. Also if you have been previously diagnosed with any pathology that may require surgery, or if you are seeking a second opinion. At Clinic Santa Maria, we evaluate your case in depth and, if surgery is not necessary, we guide you towards the best possible conservative treatment. Remember: operating is the last option, not the first.
Is it always necessary to operate when treating a hernia or digestive disease?
Not always. Each patient is unique and each pathology requires a personalized evaluation. Some small hernias, for example, can be controlled if they do not cause discomfort or risk. The same applies to certain digestive or venous problems. At Clinic Santa Maria we are committed to a prudent and ethical approach, where surgical treatment is only indicated when the benefits are clear. Before deciding, we explain all the available alternatives so that you can also be an active part of the medical decision.
What surgical techniques do you use, are they painful or do they require a lot of rest?
In most cases, we use minimally invasive techniques, such as laparoscopic surgery, which allow for very small incisions, less postoperative pain and faster recovery. On other occasions, we apply outpatient procedures or combine treatments with shock waves, monitored lymphatic drainage or nutritional support, depending on the case. In all cases, our goal is to make you feel safe, informed and accompanied, with the least impact on your quality of life.
How will I know if I need tests or studies prior to surgery?
During the first medical consultation, we perform a complete clinical evaluation that includes physical examination and analysis of your medical history. If necessary, we request complementary tests such as ultrasound, blood tests, CT or MRI, depending on your symptoms and diagnosis. No unnecessary tests are performed: at Clinic Santa Maria we optimize the diagnostic process to make it efficient, accurate and comfortable for you. Our priority is to offer you clear answers from the very first moment.
What differentiates Clinic Santa Maria from other clinics?
What sets us apart is not only the technology, but the way we understand medicine. At Clinic Santa Maria we treat the patient as a whole, taking into account both the physical and the emotional. Here we seek not only to cure, but also to listen, explain, accompany and improve your quality of life. Our multidisciplinary team – with specialists in surgery, general medicine, nutrition, oncology and traumatology – allows us to offer a global vision, avoiding fragmented treatments or hasty decisions. Here, you are the center.
Can I go even if I already have a diagnosis or have been recommended another option?
Of course. In many cases, patients come to us for a second medical opinion. It is completely valid and advisable when they have doubts, fear or uncertainty about a possible surgical treatment. Our duty as professionals is to offer you an honest view, based on more than 35 years of medical experience, combined with the latest training and technology. Sometimes we confirm the diagnosis, sometimes we find new alternatives. In all cases, we seek the best for you.
