About the department
The Department of Gastroenterology, Hepatology, Cardiology and Pulmonology at the Hospital Nordwest Frankfurt am Main offers the high-precision diagnostics and modern conservative treatment methods for patients with diseases of the gastrointestinal tract, liver, lungs, respiratory tract and heart. The department's medical team has a huge arsenal of state-of-the-art diagnostic devices for endoscopic examinations, ultrasound examinations, pulmonary function testing and cardiac catheter-assisted diagnostics. The therapeutic options of the medical facility are also quite extensive – from drug therapy and endoscopic therapeutic procedures to therapeutic cardiac catheter-assisted procedures. The department has a specialized Chest Pain Unit certified by the German Cardiac Society. The patients with acute coronary syndrome, heart arrhythmias and syncopes can receive emergency care here. The department's medical team works for the benefit of its patients providing them with top-class diagnostics and treatment. The department offers a pleasant and friendly atmosphere for the patient to feel as comfortable as possible. The department is headed by Prof. Dr. med. Siegbert Rossol.
The department's specialists pay special attention to the treatment of diseases of the stomach and bowel, since many pathologies in this area can be asymptomatic and eventually develop into cancer. For example, bowel polyps are precursors of a precancerous condition. Thanks to the presence of advanced endoscopic equipment in the department, gastroenterologists carry out an accurate diagnostic examination of the bowel (colonoscopy) and, if required, sparing interventional treatment, which helps to prevent the development of many dangerous diseases. If polyps are detected in the bowel during colonoscopy, the department's doctors take tissue samples, which will be sent for histological examination after the procedure in order to exclude a malignant process. Should cancer be confirmed, the patient will be appointed additional diagnostic tests, based on the results of which an optimal treatment regimen is developed. Each clinical case is considered at an interdisciplinary tumor board with the participation of gastroenterologists, oncologists, surgeons, radiologists and other specialists. Upon the completion of treatment, the patient will regularly undergo follow-up check-ups for several years to exclude recurrences.
An equally important focus of the department's clinical practice is the treatment of liver diseases. When admitted to the department, a patient with suspected liver disease undergoes a number of diagnostic tests, including breath tests to assess liver function, elastography and ultrasound scanning. In case of liver cancer, a surgical resection of the tumor is often the main treatment option. It is performed in collaboration with surgeons. Whenever required, the specialists from related medical fields are involved in the therapeutic process, including radiologists who perform radiofrequency ablation, transarterial chemoembolization and selective internal radiation therapy. Liver cirrhosis, which increases the risk of developing liver cancer, is also a fairly common disease in the clinical practice of the department's hepatologists. The patients with liver cirrhosis receive effective drug therapy. If complications occur (for example, ascites or bleeding from esophageal and gastric varices, surgical treatment will become an option of choice.
In the field of cardiology, the focus is on catheter-assisted diagnostic and therapeutic procedures. In addition, the department operates a Chest Pain Unit dealing with treatment of the patients suffering from acute coronary syndrome, arrhythmias and syncopes. The Chest Pain Unit admits patients 24-hours a day. The competence of the department's cardiologists also includes the treatment of coronary heart disease, high blood pressure, chronic and inflammatory diseases of the heart valves.
The department provides comprehensive diagnostics and treatment of diseases of the lungs and other organs of the respiratory system. Of particular interest is the treatment of inflammatory diseases of the lungs, bronchi and pleura, the treatment of chronic obstructive pulmonary disease and pulmonary emphysema. The department's specialists have vast experience in the treatment of interstitial lung diseases, respiratory muscle weakness, pulmonary circulatory disorders and sleep-related breathing disorders. The department's pulmonologists often have to deal with the treatment of neoplasms of the respiratory system, including malignant ones. Should lung cancer be suspected, thoracic surgeons will be involved in the therapeutic process.
It should be noted that the department's medical team has long experience in the treatment of pleurisy and pneumonia. When admitted to the department, the patient undergoes a comprehensive diagnostic examination, which includes laboratory tests, pulmonary function tests, ultrasound scanning, radiography, bronchoscopy, spirometry, spiroergometry, etc. The patients with acute pulmonary insufficiency receive medical care in the Intensive Care Unit, which offers all the necessary therapeutic procedures, including non-invasive mechanical ventilation.

About hospital
According to the reputable Focus magazine, the Hospital Nordwest Frankfurt am Main ranks among the top German medical facilities!
The hospital has a reputation of a modern multidisciplinary medical center with excellent quality of services. The medical complex is an academic hospital of the Goethe University Frankfurt, thanks to which it provides patients with treatment based on the very latest achievements of university medicine. The hospital has 12 specialized departments, as well as numerous narrowly focussed centers and institutes, whose doctors work hand in hand for the benefit of their patients. The hospital has 582 beds. The medical staff of the hospital annually provides diagnostics and treatment to more than 21,800 inpatients, while over 36,000 patients receive medical care on an outpatient basis.
The hospital presents such medical fields as oncology and hematology, radiation oncology, gynecology, urology, neurology, internal medicine, general and abdominal surgery, thoracic surgery, vascular surgery and others. Each of these medical fields is represented by a professional team of doctors and nursing staff. Oncology is one of the priority focuses of the hospital. In 2008, the Johann Wolfgang Goethe University Hospital Frankfurt together with the Hospital Nordwest Frankfurt am Main founded the University Cancer Center Frankfurt recognized by the German Cancer Aid as one of the best in Germany. In this high-tech center, the patients receive effective interdisciplinary medical care, since not only oncologists, chemotherapists and radiation oncologists are involved in the therapeutic process, but also specialists from related disciplines, including gynecologists, urologists, gastroenterologists, pulmonologists, surgeons and other experts. The patients are also provided with qualified psychological care, which is an integral part of the successful cancer treatment. Thanks to its status as an academic hospital, the medical facility gives patients the opportunity to participate in clinical trials at both national and international levels.
The hospital is proud of its health facilities and state-of-the-art equipment, which plays an important role in the effective diagnostics and treatment. For example, since 2016, the Department of Radiation Oncology has been using cutting-edge Truebeam STx NOVALIS linear accelerators from VARIAN and Brainlab, which allow the doctors to provide highly effective, but very sparing, radiation therapy for cancer treatment. Despite the presence of modern medical technologies in the hospital, the focus of the doctors is on the patient with his individual needs and wishes. The specialists pay attention to creating a friendly atmosphere in the hospital and always demonstrate humanity in relation to their patients.
The outstanding clinical activities of the medical complex are awarded by many prestigious certificates, including certificates of the German Cancer Society in the treatment of bowel, liver, prostate, gynecologic cancers, etc. The Aktion Saubere Hände certificate and a modern quality management system guarantee patients the highest safety standards during both diagnostic and therapeutic procedures.
