Subsequent interventions will be guaranteed by two teams, according to the document sent, a general surgery team, which will have a group made up of two surgeons, an anesthetist and three specialist nurses.

Laparoscopic surgeries will also be performed, which consist of making three to six “holes” in the region that needs to be operated, through which a microcamera with a light source enters to observe the interior of the body.

It will take place from October 16th to November 30th and free consultations will be scheduled at the Ramiro Figueira Regional Hospital, Espargos Health Center, Santa Maria Health Center and health centers in Palmeira and Pedra de Lume.
