According to the Focus magazine, the Department of Obstetrics, Gynecology and Mammology at the University Hospital Essen ranks among the top German departments specializing in breast cancer treatment!
The department offers the full range of services in the areas of its specialization. With appropriate clinical indications, the surgical treatment is carried out using modern minimally invasive techniques, which provide sparing and safe treatment. The department is Level I Perinatal Center, where more than 1,000 babies are born annually. Also, the department's specialists have vast experience in the management of multiple pregnancies.
The department is headed by a distinguished professional with a worldwide reputation Prof. Dr. med. Rainer Kimmig. He has more than 20 years of successful experience in the field of surgical gynecology and gynecologic oncology. He personally performed over 10,000 gynecologic surgical procedures using the very latest surgical techniques, and also contributed to the development of modern gynecologic surgery.
In the field of gynecology, the focus is on the treatment of benign and malignant diseases of the female reproductive system (ovaries, uterus, cervix, endometrium, etc.), therapy of urinary incontinence (urogynecology), fertility problems and hormonal disorders due to the gynecologic pathologies. The department has long experience in the use of robotic surgery, which today is considered the gold standard of surgical treatment. Thus, even radical resections can be performed using the modern da Vinci Surgical System, which provides minimal incision, minimal pain, speedy recovery after surgery and minimal risk of any complications.
The special department’s activities include mammology. The priority focus in this field is the conservative and surgical treatment of breast cancer. The range is complemented by plastic reconstructive interventions aimed at restoring the aesthetic appearance of the mammary gland and ridding the woman of the complexes. The department performs breast reduction, augmentation, lift, reconstructive surgeries on the mammary gland.
In the field of obstetrics, the department specializes in the comprehensive management of pregnancy, including high-risk pregnancy, multiple pregnancies, and pregnancies with extragenital pathology, safe delivery, and postnatal care for the mother and child.
