House Call Surgeon in Italy
English-speaking general surgeons who come to your home, hotel or office anywhere in Italy — for a surgical opinion, a second opinion on an operation you have been offered, or the post-operative check you would otherwise queue for.
Fees shown before you book. No account needed.
How It Works
Check your address
Enter your address under Choose & Book and pick home visit or video. The surgeons who cover it appear with their profile, hospital background and fee.
Choose your surgeon
Compare experience and fees, then pick a slot from the surgeon’s live diary. The booking is confirmed online; nobody calls you back to arrange it.
The consultation, then a plan
History, examination and a clear opinion, at your address or on video. If an operation is needed, the same surgeon organises it in their hospital and follows you before and after.
Video consultations reach you anywhere in Italy; home visits depend on which surgeons cover your address — the address check gives the exact answer, and a video slot is the fallback where no surgeon visits.
Surgical Consultations at Your Address
General surgery for adults — a first opinion, a second opinion, and the checks that follow an operation.
Surgical Consultation at Home
Full assessment of lumps, hernias, gallstones, skin lesions and abdominal complaints, with a written opinion and the next steps.
Follow-up & Post-operative Checks
Wound review, dressings and drain checks after an operation in Italy or abroad, and the routine controls a surgeon would otherwise see you for in clinic.
Video Consultation
A surgeon reads your reports and images on screen and tells you whether an operation is warranted, and where — from anywhere in Italy.
A first surgical consultation at home starts from € 190 with the surgeons currently on the English-speaking roster; the exact fee for your address and format is shown before you confirm.
What a Surgeon Can Settle at Home — and What Belongs in Hospital
A surgical consultation is an opinion, not an operating theatre. Most of what a surgeon does before and after surgery fits in your living room; the surgery itself, and anything acute, does not.
✓Handled at your address
- Lumps, cysts and skin lesions — is it something to remove, and how urgently
- Hernias of the groin, navel or abdominal wall
- Gallstones and biliary colic — whether and when to operate
- Second opinion on an operation proposed by another doctor, here or abroad
- Post-operative checks: wounds, dressings, drains, suture removal
- Pre-admission planning — tests, timing and the hospital pathway explained in English
→Straight to hospital
- Sudden severe abdominal pain, a suspected appendicitis or a strangulated hernia belong in an emergency department, not on a booking form.
- Bleeding, high fever or a wound that opens after an operation need the same-day care of the hospital that operated, or the nearest one.
- The operation itself takes place in the surgeon’s hospital or clinic — the home visit is where it gets decided and planned.
What to have ready
Your GP’s letter if you have one, any ultrasound, CT or endoscopy report, previous operation notes, and a list of your medication — in any language.
The surgeon’s hospital
Our surgeons hold posts in Italian hospitals and clinics. When surgery is indicated, they book it where they operate and remain your surgeon throughout.
Reports and invoice
You receive a written opinion in English and a regular invoice — what an international insurer or a surgeon back home needs to act on.
Why Book Through Medelit
The surgeons on the Medelit roster are hospital consultants with years in oncological, laparoscopic and emergency surgery, chosen one by one: qualifications and hospital record verified, references checked, and an interview with our medical directors before they see a single patient. They consult in English, and they treat a home visit with the same rigour as a clinic appointment.
Consultants, not a call centre
Every surgeon practises in an Italian hospital or clinic. You see the person who would operate, not a triage doctor who refers onward.
The same surgeon, before and after
From the first opinion to the post-operative check, one surgeon follows your case — including the questions that come up between visits.
An opinion first, an operation only if needed
Many consultations end with reassurance, watchful waiting or a referral to a different specialist. Nobody is steered towards surgery.
Video when it is enough
For a second opinion on existing reports, or when you are outside home-visit coverage, a video consultation gives you the same surgeon without the journey.
Paperwork your insurer understands
A written report in English and a regular invoice with every consultation, so a claim or a surgeon abroad can pick up where we left off.
The rest of the team at home too
Pre-operative blood tests and ultrasound, nursing for dressings and injections, and a GP to coordinate — all booked the same way.

When a doctor has suggested an operation and you want it explained, or a second view, in English. When a lump, hernia or gallstone problem needs a specialist’s eye without a hospital outpatient queue. And after an operation, when travelling to the clinic for a wound check is the last thing you want to do.
A first surgical consultation at home starts from € 190. Each surgeon sets their own fee, shown next to their profile before you book; follow-ups and video consultations cost less, and the figure for your address and format appears before you confirm.
Choose the home visit when something needs to be examined: a lump, a hernia, a wound. Choose video when the question sits in reports and images you already have, or when no surgeon visits where you are staying. If the surgeon needs to examine you after a video call, they say so and you book the visit.
No. Minor procedures such as suture removal or a dressing change can be done at your address; anything more takes place in the surgeon’s hospital or clinic. The home visit is where the decision is made, the operation planned and the pre-admission tests organised.
The surgeon who examined you books the procedure in the hospital or clinic where they operate, arranges the pre-operative tests and remains your surgeon through admission, the operation and the follow-up. You are not handed to a stranger at the hospital door.
Yes. Post-operative checks are one of the most common reasons expats and visitors book a surgeon at home in Italy: wound review, dressings, drain checks, and a report your surgeon back home can read. Bring the operation notes if you have them.
Abdominal wall and groin hernias, gallstones and biliary problems, lumps, cysts and skin lesions, conditions of the stomach, colon, liver and pancreas, and general post-operative care. Proctology, orthopaedics and other surgical specialties are booked through the specialist home visits page.
No. You book the surgeon directly. A GP’s letter, earlier reports or imaging are useful and worth having to hand, but nothing is required to make the appointment.
Any reports, scans or operation notes, a list of your medication and allergies, and the questions you want answered. A quiet room and a couch or bed are all the surgeon needs to examine you.
Yes. Every consultation ends with a written report in English — findings, opinion and recommended next steps — and a regular invoice for your insurer.
Video consultations everywhere in Italy. Home visits wherever a surgeon on the roster covers your address — enter it under Choose & Book to see who visits where you are staying, with their live availability.
With Medelit, you can check availability and fees at your address directly on our website. Simply enter your address, choose your preferred clinician based on their profile, qualifications and fees, and book online. No membership required. Same-day and next-day appointments are often available.
Fees vary by clinician and specialisation. With Medelit, each clinician sets their own fees, which are fully transparent when you check availability — so you can choose based on both expertise and cost. There are no hidden fees or membership charges.
A home visit is ideal when you have mobility issues, are caring for a child or a relative, are too unwell to travel, need attention outside surgery hours, are travelling or new to Italy, or simply prefer the privacy and comfort of home or your hotel.
Every Medelit clinician is fully registered with the relevant Italian professional body, holds professional indemnity insurance, and has been individually vetted through background checks, reference verification, and interviews with our medical directors. All speak English.
Absolutely. When you check availability, you can view each clinician's profile, qualifications, specialisations and fees. For follow-ups, you can request the same clinician for continuity of care.
Medelit often has same-day availability. In many cases, a clinician can visit within a few hours. Weekend and bank holiday appointments are also available. For medical emergencies, always call 112.
Medelit is available in Italy’s major cities and many surrounding areas. Enter your address to check availability where you are staying.
Yes. Medelit clinicians visit wherever you need them — your home, hotel room, office or workplace. This is particularly valued by travellers, expats and companies requiring on-site services.
You receive a comprehensive report in English. Your Medelit clinician can coordinate follow-up care, referrals, and any additional services needed — all organised through Medelit.
No referral is needed. You can book directly with any Medelit clinician. If you have a letter from your own doctor, our practitioners are happy to take it into account.
