Department of General, Abdominal and Transplant Surgery
Specialized in: general, abdominal, transplant surgery About the Department of General, Abdominal and Transplant Surgery at University Hospital Essen
According to the Focus magazine, the Department of General, Abdominal and Transplant Surgery at the University Hospital Essen ranks among the top German departments specializing in bowel cancer treatment!
The department offers the full range of services in these medical fields and enjoys the reputation of one of the leading Centers for Liver and Kidney Transplants in Europe. The priority focus of the department’s activities is oncology. The doctors of the department have high competence and rich experience in the treatment of oncopathology, including particularly complex forms. The department widely practices all modern surgical techniques. Preference is always given to sparing minimally invasive techniques that provide minimal pain, risks and speedy recovery of the patient. The department is headed by Prof. Dr. med. Andreas Paul.
Of particular interest to the department’s specialists is the treatment of pancreatic, esophageal and intestinal cancer, as well as the surgical treatment of benign diseases of all digestive organs. The department also performs a large number of operations on the endocrine organs, in particular on the thyroid gland and parathyroid glands. In the treatment of patients with endocrine pathologies, there is close cooperation with the experts in the field of endocrinology, nuclear medicine, nephrology, radiation therapy, radiology, ophthalmology, which guarantees a comprehensive approach to treatment and the most effective result.
It is worth noting that the department is equipped with the advanced surgical equipment for minimally invasive interventions. The standard treatment methods include laparoscopic gallbladder removal, liver resection, surgical treatment of gastroesophageal reflux disease, cecal removal, surgical treatment of the colon, etc.
Also, the department’s priorities include transplant surgery. The surgeons specialize in kidney, liver, and pancreas transplantation. For all the time of clinical practice, there were performed more than 3,000 kidney transplants and 1,800 liver transplants. The first liver transplantation was performed here in 1987, and the first kidney transplant in 1972. Since then, the department holds leading positions at the national and international levels. Special attention is paid to a live donor kidney transplant and a cross-donation program. The intensive care unit, which specializes in caring for patients after abdominal interventions, provides optimal treatment of very severe surgical cases, as well as monitoring of patients with liver failure and patients after organ transplants.
