About the department
The Department of General and Abdominal Surgery, Hepatopancreatobiliary Surgery and Hernia Surgery at the Asklepios Hospital Barmbek Hamburg offers the full range of services in the areas of its specialization. The department's surgical team successfully performs interventions for diseases of the stomach, esophagus, small intestine, large intestine, rectum, pancreas, liver, gallbladder, and bile ducts. Patients with various types of hernias, including inguinal, umbilical, and incisional hernias, are also operated on here. It should be noted that the department also performs cytoreductive surgery with hyperthermic intraperitoneal chemotherapy (HIPEC), which is an advanced treatment method for peritoneal carcinomatosis. The specialists at the medical facility strive to provide patients with not only effective but also as sparing treatment as possible. That is why the use of minimally invasive surgical techniques is a priority. Such an approach to treatment practically eliminates surgical risks and reduces the duration of a hospital stay. The department has the status of an Expert Center for Liver and Pancreatic Surgery as well as a Competence Center for Upper Gastrointestinal Surgery, which is confirmed by the certification from the German Society for General and Visceral Surgery (DGAV). In addition, the medical facility regularly demonstrates high success rates in the surgical treatment of gastrointestinal cancers, which are confirmed by the certification from the German Cancer Society (DKG). The department is headed by Prof. Dr. med. Karl Jürgen Oldhafer.
In the field of general and abdominal surgery, special attention is paid to the treatment of patients with stomach and esophageal cancers. The key treatment method for these cancers is surgery. Each patient's clinical case is studied during a multidisciplinary tumor board with the participation of gastroenterologists, oncologists, radiation therapists, and radiologists. Such an approach allows doctors to develop the most effective treatment regimen based on specific diagnostic data, such as the type of tumor, its location, size, stage, and type, as well as the patient's general health condition and the presence or absence of comorbidities. Treatment tactics for esophageal cancer largely depend on the location of the malignancy. Tumors in the cervical section of the esophagus are extremely rare and are usually treated with chemoradiation therapy. When the tumor is located in the thoracic section of the esophagus, surgery is performed through a transabdominal or transthoracic approach, and in some cases, neoadjuvant chemoradiation therapy can be performed before surgery. As for stomach cancer, the department's specialists offer two main types of surgical treatment, namely subtotal (indicated for patients with small tumors) and total (indicated for patients with large tumors) gastrectomy. A significant proportion of stomach and esophageal surgical procedures are performed in the department using sparing, minimally invasive techniques. In addition, the department is one of the few in Germany where stomach and esophageal surgical interventions, including particularly complex ones, are actively practiced using the advanced da Vinci surgical system. Robot-assisted interventions are characterized by the highest precision, ensure minimal trauma rate and blood loss, and practically reduce complications to zero.
The department's surgical team is also deservedly proud of its successful experience in cytoreductive surgery followed by hyperthermic intraperitoneal chemotherapy (HIPEC) for the treatment of peritoneal carcinomatosis. This oncopathology is usually a complication of other abdominal cancers that have reached advanced stages. It is worth noting that not so long ago, patients with peritoneal carcinomatosis were considered hopeless, but the implementation of the HIPEC procedure into clinical practice allowed the doctors to significantly extend their life expectancy. HIPEC operations are performed by an experienced team of surgeons led by Dr. med. Michael Lipp, one of the most experienced colorectal surgeons in Germany specializing in HIPEC treatment. In March 2024, the department was certified as the Center of Excellence for HIPEC for Peritoneal Carcinomatosis by the German Society of General and Visceral Surgery (DGAV). Dr. Lipp and his team are among the pioneers in the use of this surgical technique. They have more than 10 years of successful clinical experience in this field. During this time, more than 150 HIPEC procedures have been performed, which is a very high rate not only in Germany but also in the international medical arena.
The essence of HIPEC treatment is as follows: cytoreductive surgery is performed, during which surgeons remove all cancer foci visible to the naked eye in the abdominal cavity, after which the abdominal cavity is rinsed for 60-90 minutes with a solution of chemotherapeutic agents heated to 41°C. HIPEC is characterized by high efficiency since chemotherapeutic agents do not enter the body through the blood vessels, as it happens with classical systemic chemotherapy, but are injected directly into the cancer focus, which contributes to the enhancement of the therapeutic effect. Administering a solution of chemotherapy drugs into the abdominal cavity also gives surgeons the opportunity to repeatedly increase their dosage without causing any serious side effects.
The department's team of hepatopancreatobiliary surgeons specializes in the treatment of diseases of the liver, pancreas, gallbladder, and biliary ducts. Surgeons excel in performing operations for benign liver diseases, including cysts, hemangiomas, adenomas, and focal nodular hyperplasia. The doctors use minimally traumatic surgical techniques whenever possible. The department also has vast experience in the treatment of liver cancer and liver metastases. In most cases, it is possible to perform surgical resection of a malignant tumor or liver metastases using minimally invasive techniques. In advanced stages of cancer, surgery may be contraindicated. In these cases, patients may undergo transarterial chemoembolization (TACE). This procedure is performed by interventional radiologists and involves blocking the blood vessels supplying the tumor, which leads to its destruction.

- General and abdominal surgery
