I completed a two-month Erasmus+ clinical rotation at the Department of General, Visceral, and Transplant Surgery at the Medical University of Graz under the leadership of Univ.-Prof. Dr. Robert Sucher. During this time, I observed advanced hepatopancreatobiliary (HPB), colorectal procedures, robotic surgeries, organ retrieval from deceased donors, and liver transplantation.
I gained exposure to innovative techniques such as hyperspectral imaging and precision medicine, which are advancing surgical practice. Additionally, I observed the critical role of multidisciplinary team (MDT) meetings and tumor boards in optimizing patient care and decision-making processes.
I extend my sincere gratitude to my mentors Univ.-Prof. Dr. Robert Sucher, Univ.-Prof. Dr. Máthé Zoltán, and Assoc.-Prof. Dr. med. Saulius Mikalauskas, as well as to all the consultant surgeons, the dedicated team of the Department of Surgery, the operating room staff, nurses, colleagues, and the International Office for their invaluable support during this period.
