About the department
The Department of Pediatric and Adolescent Medicine at the Hospital Schwabing Munich offers the full range of services for the diagnostics and treatment of various diseases in children. The department admits children of all age groups, ranging from premature babies weighing 500 grams to adolescents under the age of 18 years. The advanced medical and technical base, as well as long clinical experience of pediatricians allow them to offer young patients the most effective therapy using the latest medical advances. The department provides treatment of all possible diseases in children: malignant solid tumors, leukemias, diabetes mellitus, cardiovascular diseases, endocrine diseases, infectious diseases, allergies, diseases of the lungs, gastrointestinal tract and liver, nervous system, kidneys, as well as immunodeficiency disorders. The department admits annually more than 5,000 young patients and about 1,500 children receive therapy within a day hospital. Medical care meets the strictest requirements of professional pediatric societies and current clinical protocols. The department is headed by Prof. Dr. med. Stefan Burdach.
The department is proud of its outstanding success in the treatment of malignant solid tumors, diseases of the hematopoietic system and bleeding disorders. The department's specialists most often have to deal with the treatment of leukemias, lymphomas, myelodysplastic syndrome, congenital bone marrow failure, hemoglobinopathies, immune thrombocytopenia, bone and soft tissue sarcomas (Ewing's sarcoma, osteosarcoma, rhabdomyosarcoma), histiocytosis, etc. The treatment can take place on an inpatient or outpatient basis. The main therapeutic options of the department in this field include chemotherapy, radiation therapy, targeted therapy and bone marrow transplantation. Since such a diagnosis as cancer is always a huge challenge for a child and his family, the patient and his relatives can also receive psychological care from highly qualified specialists.
The treatment of cardiovascular diseases in children is also one of the priority areas of the department's work. Specialization includes the treatment of congenital and acquired heart diseases. Of particular interest is the treatment of congenital heart defects, arrhythmias, arterial hypertension, myocardial infectious diseases, syncopes and other pathologies. The department's pediatric cardiologists provide exclusively conservative treatment. The interventional catheter procedures and surgical treatment are carried out in cooperation with the German Heart Center Munich, which has state-of-the-art equipment and highly qualified staff for effective and safe treatment. In addition, the department has modern diagnostic equipment for detection of congenital heart defects at the stage of prenatal development.
The department's pediatric endocrinologists offer young patients preventive measures, screening tests, as well as diagnostics and treatment of hormonal imbalances. It should be noted that the department is one of the few highly specialized medical facilities in all of Bavaria with the focus on pediatric endocrinology. The department's doctors specialize in the diagnostics and treatment of growth disorders, disorders of sexual development, calcium and phosphorus metabolic disorders, excess body weight and obesity, thyroid, adrenal and pituitary diseases. Endocrine disorders are treated with the advanced drugs, which the department's specialists prescribe only on an individual basis, taking into account the particular clinical indications of the young patient.
The department's medical team is also competent in the diagnostics and treatment of diseases of the nervous system. Epilepsy is one of the most common neurological disorders in children. It should be noted that the department is certified by the German Society for Epileptology and offers patients many innovative treatments for this pathology, which are available only in the best medical facilities in Germany. In addition to drug therapy using innovative medicines, the department's specialists have vast experience in the application of the ketogenic diet. The ketogenic diet allows the patient to achieve excellent results and significantly reduces the occurrence of epileptic seizures. In addition, the department successfully uses vagus nerve stimulation. It also provides effective treatment for many other neurological pathologies, including multiple sclerosis, mitochondriopathies, cerebral palsy, intellectual and cognitive developmental disorders, neurovascular diseases, neurometabolic diseases, hydrocephalus.
