About the department
The Department of Adult and Pediatric Thoracic Surgery at the Hospital Bogenhausen Munich offers the full range of services in the field of its competence and specializes in the surgical treatment of thoracic diseases. The department performs all operations on the lungs and airways, with the exception of lung transplantation. A special area of the department's clinical activity is the surgical treatment of lung cancer and lung metastases. The surgeons of the medical facility have a wealth of experience in the field of correction of pectus carinatum and pectus excavatum. Such corrective surgical interventions are most often performed in children and adults under the age of 30. The department's operating rooms are equipped with state-of-the-art technology, so most of the interventions are performed using video-assisted thoracoscopic surgical techniques. Such operations are a modern alternative to open interventions, which require thoracotomy. At the same time, sparing operations are characterized by high efficiency. The health of patients is in the safe hands of highly qualified surgeons who have performed thousands of successful operations. During the diagnostics and at the stage of treatment planning, the doctors from the Department of Pulmonology are actively involved in the therapeutic process. The department is headed by Prof. Dr. med. Johannes Bodner.
The primary focus of the department's clinical practice is the surgical treatment of lung cancer. The department is part of the certified Lung Cancer Center (certified by the German Cancer Society), thanks to which patients can rely on the highest professionalism of doctors and the availability of new therapeutic methods to cure oncology. It is extremely rare for the patients with lung cancer to avoid surgery, and therefore the surgical resection of the tumor largely determines the success of the entire therapeutic process. The department's specialists always prefer video-assisted thoracoscopic surgery, which involves surgical access through small skin incisions without thoracotomy. In addition, thoracic surgeons always strive to maintain a healthy lung parenchyma as much as possible. At the initial stages, in the absence of metastases, the specialists often use only monotherapy, namely surgical resection of the tumor. However, the advanced stages of lung cancer require a multimodal treatment regimen with additional chemotherapy and/or radiation therapy. It should be noted that in some cases surgeons also perform lung cancer surgery without using a heart-lung machine, which reduces the risk of developing pneumonia or acute pulmonary failure. As of today, the department actively implements innovative single-port surgery, in which surgical instruments and a video camera are inserted into the thorax through a single skin incision several centimeters in size. In addition to excellent cosmetic results, the advantages of such operations include mild pain.
The department successfully performs surgery for lung metastasis resection, for example, in colon, kidney, breast cancers, etc. In most cases, to detect metastases, the doctors use radiography and computed tomography. If required, the doctors perform bronchoscopy to obtain tissue samples. To make a decision on the advisability of the surgical resection of lung metastases, the department's specialists use a combined method of positron emission tomography combined with computed tomography (PET/CT). If the patient requires surgery, the department's medical team prefers minimally invasive and single-port surgical techniques. Open interventions with thoracotomy are indicated only in the presence of multiple deeply located metastases. Surgery to remove lung metastases is often combined with chemotherapy and/or radiation therapy.
The department's thoracic surgeons specialize in the surgical treatment of pleural empyema (a purulent process in the pleural cavity). The disease most often develops due to pneumonia. Pathology causes serious respiratory disorders, and therefore requires effective treatment. At the initial stages, pleural drainage and intake of drugs are sufficient, while in case of advanced pleural empyema the only effective treatment method is surgery – thoracoscopic decortication. All operations to treat pleural empyema are performed in the department using minimally invasive techniques, which excludes thoracotomy.
Both adults and children with thoracic deformities are also in the focus of the department's thoracic surgeons. The specialization of the medical facility in this area includes the correction of pectus excavatum and pectus carinatum. Such deformations can cause curvature of the spine, functional changes in the work of the heart and lungs, and therefore require timely treatment. The doctors recommend to perform the operation in childhood. In case of mild forms of thoracic deformities, doctors can use conservative techniques, such as physiotherapy. For severe deformities, the only effective treatment option is surgical correction. Corrective surgeries are most often performed in the department using minimally invasive techniques. The main method for correcting pectus excavatum is the Nuss procedure, during which a custom-made U-shaped metal bar is placed under image guidance to align the sunken thoracic wall. In 2-3 years, a second operation is performed to remove the bar, since during this time the thoracic wall takes on a normal anatomical shape. The department's thoracic surgeons also specialize in the correction of extremely complex and combined forms of thoracic deformities. In such cases, classical open operations with thoracotomy become an option of choice.
