About the department
The Department of Gastroenterology, Infectology, Cardiology, Angiology, Pulmonology, Hematology and Oncology at the Bundeswehr Hospital Berlin provides the full range of preventive, diagnostic and therapeutic services in these medical fields. The department specializes in the diagnostics and treatment of gastrointestinal pathologies, infectious diseases, cardiovascular diseases, pathologies of the lungs and other organs of the respiratory system, as well as hematopoietic diseases. Cancer treatment is provided in interdisciplinary cooperation. The basis of the successful treatment is excellent diagnostic equipment that allows the doctors to make the most accurate diagnosis. The state-of-art systems for endoscopic and ultrasound examinations, a laboratory for functional diagnostics of the heart and lungs, as well as an advanced angiology laboratory for examining blood vessels are available here. Medical care is provided both on an inpatient and outpatient basis. The department's team of doctors works in accordance with current clinical protocols and makes sure that each patient receives effective medical care, taking into account his individual needs.The department is headed by Dr. med. Nicole Müller.
The primary focus of the department's work is on the diagnostics and treatment of benign and malignant hematopoietic diseases (these are leukemias, lymphomas, bone marrow disorders) and malignant tumors of the internal organs (these are stomach, bowel, pancreatic, lung, liver, breast and soft tissue tumors). In addition to such classic cancer treatments as chemotherapy and antibody therapy, the department provides symptomatic pain management and palliative care for the patients with advanced cancer aimed at improving their quality of life. The treatment regimen for each patient is developed at an interdisciplinary tumor board, with the participation of oncologists and specialists from the related medical fields. In complex clinical cases, the doctors from the Charite University Hospital Berlin are involved in the treatment process.
In the field of gastroenterology, a special focus is on the use of endoscopic methods of diagnostics and treatment. The department offers procedures, such as gastroscopy, colonoscopy, capsule endoscopy, double balloon enteroscopy, endoscopic retrograde cholangiopancreatography, percutaneous transhepatic cholangiodrainage and others. Endoscopic methods allow the doctors not only to examine the organs of the digestive system from the inside, but also to simultaneously perform therapeutic manipulations in order to eliminate the pathological changes. For example, the department's gastroenterologists use endoscopic techniques to remove small benign and malignant neoplasms, stop internal bleeding, eliminate stenosis, etc. It should be noted that the department's specialists cooperate closely with the doctors from the Department of General and Abdominal Surgery, thanks to which the experts have the opportunity to cooperatively consider the patient's clinical case and choose the most effective treatment option. The department also employs highly qualified nutritionists who select the proper diet and hold consultations on all issues in this area.
The department's important activity is the treatment of infectious diseases, including tropical infections. The department's specialists most often deal with the treatment of tuberculosis, AIDS, HIV and related diseases, malaria, osteomyelitis, endocarditis, meningitis, etc. To ensure the comprehensive treatment of infections, doctors from the Department of Dermatology, Allergology and Venereology are involved in the therapeutic process. The Infectious Disease Emergency Service is available around the clock.
The department's experienced cardiologists and angiologists provide modern diagnostics and treatment of cardiovascular diseases. The department has an innovative cardiac catheterization laboratory with the possibility of intravascular imaging, which allows the doctors to assess and effectively eliminate stenosis and other pathological changes in the blood vessels. In the case of suspected aortic stenosis or mitral valve regurgitation, as well as in the need for the MitraClip system implantation, close cooperation is maintained with the specialists from the Department of Cardiology and Angiology at the Charite University Hospital Berlin. Also, if coronary artery bypass grafting or heart valve replacement surgery is required, the doctors from the Department of Cardiac Surgery at the Charite University Hospital Berlin are involved in the treatment process. The department's cardiologists have rich experience in the implantation of pacemakers and event recorders, as well as in cardiac resynchronization therapy.
The department's therapeutic options are complemented by the treatment of lung and bronchial diseases, ranging from acute and chronic pathologies to sleep-related breathing disorders and cancer. In addition to general functional diagnostics, including spirometry, whole-body plethysmography and lung diffusion capacity measurement, non-specific provocation tests are performed. Sleep-related breathing disorders are detected with the use of a complete sleep screening. The department offers a wide range of endoscopic techniques for the diagnostics and treatment of lung and bronchial tumors. The treatment of lung tumors, for example, chemotherapy, is carried out in cooperation with the department's oncologists. If the patient requires a surgical resection of a lung tumor, then the highly specialized surgeons are involved in the therapeutic process.
The department's clinical focuses include:
- Diagnostics and treatment of gastrointestinal diseases
- Diagnostics and treatment of cardiovascular diseases
- Diagnostics and treatment of lung and bronchial diseases
- Diagnostics and treatment of diseases of the peripheral arterial and venous vessels
- Diagnostics and treatment of infectious diseases, including tropical infections
- Diagnostics and treatment of cancers of the internal organs and blood
