Our Department stands out for our use of endoscopic and laparoscopic techniques, including robotic techniques, and for our treatment of complex hepatobiliary pathologies, with excellent results in the obstruction of bile ducts, hepatic resections and the surgical treatment of portal hypertension with all kinds of shunt techniques, including "Rex shunts". The Unit is also a leader within Spain for the treatment of congenital portocaval shunts.

The Cabinet of Digestive Physiology is a leading name in the study of gastroesophageal reflux (pH-metrics and bioimpedimetry) and anorectal manometry.
