If you are currently in Italy and need to have chirurgia generale, known in English as general surgery, you will want to find the right surgeon for the job. Especially if you have not had that type of surgery before.
Thankfully, that can be done with just a few steps. Steps that will allow you to find a reputable surgeon in your area of Italy, and at a hospital you can register at.
Reviews of Italian general surgeons -- Your first task should be to look for reviews of Italian surgeons currently doing chirurgia generale in your area.
These reviews are likely to be in Italian, but if you run an online search for the term 'chirurgia generale' and add the name of your city, you can then translate any pages you find via Google Translate. By doing that, you should be able to understand most of what has been written.
Recommendations from other patients -- Do not neglect asking people living in your area of Italy if they have ever had chirurgia generale and, if so, who was the surgeon that did it.
Just like in any country in the world, recommendations can be very helpful in navigating the medical system and finding a surgeon that is right for what you need.
Online help via medical chat rooms -- It is also possible to find excellent recommendations online in some of the chat rooms set up for people who have had surgery, or will be having it soon.
Look for Italian chat rooms and, again, run them through Google Translate so you can understand if you do not speak Italian. You can then ask your own questions in English about chirurgia generale, as you will always find Italians that frequent the chat who also speak English and are willing to help.
