About the department
The Department of Gastroenterology, Hepatology, Oncology, Cardiology, Pulmonology at the Hospital zum Heiligen Geist Frankfurt am Main offers the full range of preventive, diagnostic and therapeutic services in the fields of its competence. The department's medical team specializes in the treatment of diseases of the gastrointestinal tract, liver and biliary tract, cardiovascular system, lungs and respiratory tract. It also admits patients with cancer of the internal organs. The department provides medical care to more than 4,500 patients every year. Highly qualified doctors work with patients, for whom the patient and his health are in the first place. The department has modern diagnostic rooms for ultrasound scanning, endoscopic examinations, pulmonary function tests and other examinations. The therapeutic protocols include highly effective drug treatment regimens and modern interventional endoscopic procedures. The treatment tactics are determined depending on the particular diagnosis, the stage of the disease, the general health condition of the patient, his age and other important factors. The Head Physician of the department is Prof. Dr. med. Rainer Duchmann.
The department's team of gastroenterologists deals with the treatment of stomach, esophageal, pancreatic, small and large intestine diseases. It provides effective treatment of gastroesophageal reflux disease, gastric and intestine ulcers, infectious diseases of the gastrointestinal tract, gastrointestinal bleeding, diverticular disease, stomach and colon polyps, as well as digestive cancers. The department's specialists have advanced equipment for diagnosing the digestive system in order to detect pathological changes. First of all, the attending physician carries out a clinical examination, asks the patient about his complaints, and then determines the complex of necessary diagnostic tests: laboratory tests, ultrasound scanning, endoscopic diagnostic procedures, including esophagogastroduodenoscopy, gastroscopy, colonoscopy, sigmoidoscopy, rectoscopy and capsule endoscopy. After studying the diagnostic results, the specialist makes an accurate diagnosis. Depending on the severity of the pathology and its stage, drug therapy, endoscopic procedures, surgery, or a combination of several therapeutic methods may be required. The department's gastroenterologists often use only drug therapy, but also have vast experience in therapeutic endoscopic procedures, such as polypectomy, endoscopic submucosal dissection, hemostasis, balloon dilation, etc. In complex clinical cases, laparoscopic or open surgery may be required. In such cases, abdominal surgeons are involved in the therapeutic process.
The department's doctors also deal with the treatment of liver, gallbladder and biliary tract diseases. The patients with acute and chronic inflammatory liver diseases, cirrhosis, benign and malignant liver neoplasms are in the focus of attention of doctors. To treat liver pathologies, the very latest medications are used. If clinically indicated, such endoscopic treatment as endoscopic retrograde cholangiopancreatography to remove stones from the bile ducts can also be performed.
The patients suffering from cancer of various localizations receive medical care in the department. Should cancer diagnosis be confirmed after comprehensive examination, the highly specialized doctors gather for a tumor board to study clinical data and develop an optimal treatment regimen. The department's doctors have in their arsenal various conservative methods: chemotherapy, immunotherapy, antibody therapy, bisphosphonate therapy. If tumors of the gastrointestinal tract and lungs are detected in the patient in the early stage, they can be removed using endoscopic techniques, so that the patient will be able to avoid a traumatic surgical intervention.
An important focus of the work of the medical facility is on the diagnostics and treatment of cardiovascular diseases. The patients with myocardial infarction, heart failure, arrhythmias and hypertension most often receive medical care here. The department houses a certified Chest Pain Unit, which provides acute coronary syndrome treatment. The department offers excellent diagnostic tests: electrocardiography, echocardiography and stress echocardiography, 24-hour blood pressure monitoring, spiroergometry, pulmonary function tests, cardiac computed tomography. There is also a modern laboratory for cardiac catheterization, whose specialists conduct catheter-based examinations and treatment of cardiovascular pathologies. The laboratory often performs stent implantation for coronary artery stenosis, rotablation, left atrial appendage occluder placement, cardiac resynchronization therapy, and other therapeutic manipulations. Thus, many specialists working in the department restore the heart function without resorting to extensive surgical interventions with thoracotomy.
The department also has a team of pulmonologists, who examine the respiratory system and carry out the treatment of a wide range of lung and respiratory diseases. Of particular interest is the treatment of chronic respiratory diseases and malignant lung tumors. At the diagnostic stage, most patients are prescribed laboratory tests, ultrasound scanning and bronchoscopy. The therapeutic options include drug therapy and endoscopic procedures. The treatment regimen is developed for each patient individually, based on the specific clinical situation.
