About the department

The Department of Surgery and Proctology at the Beta Klinik offers surgical treatment of the abdominal organs, abdominal wall and thyroid gland (general and abdominal surgery), as well as diagnostics and treatment of diseases of the colon and rectum, conservative and surgical treatment of the pelvic floor organs in fecal incontinence, etc. (coloproctology). The department specializes in the treatment of hernias (for example, umbilical, inguinal, etc.), minimally invasive surgery on the gallbladder, cecum and thyroid. The Chief Physician of the department is Dr. med. Stefan Mühlbauer.

It should be noted that the competent specialists of the department have a unique experience in the diagnostics and conservative (non-surgical) treatment of diseases of the colon and rectum. In surgical treatment, preference is given to sparing and minimally invasive techniques, for example, laparoscopy, including in diseases of the small and large intestine. With appropriate clinical indications, it is possible to use a single-port surgical technique that provides an excellent cosmetic result. In this case, the intervention is performed through a small incision in the navel. Also, in the arsenal of the department’s medical team there are especially sparing methods for the treatment of bowel diseases, for example, hemorrhoidal disease.
