About the department
The Department of Adult and Pediatric Thoracic Surgery, Thoracic Endoscopy at the University Hospital Essen offers the full range of modern diagnostic and therapeutic services in these fields. The department performs more than 2,300 interventions annually, so it is one of the largest and most important medical facilities in Germany and Europe. The surgical options include both open surgery and sparing minimally invasive endoscopic procedures. Special attention is paid to the treatment of lung cancer and lung metastasis from other tumors. The department is headed by Prof. Dr. med. Clemens Aigner.
The department's medical team applies all the proven modern methods of diagnostics and surgical treatment of thoracic diseases. More than 1,200 open thoracic surgeries and about 1,000 minimally invasive endoscopic interventions are performed here annually. Over 80% of patients received surgical treatment of malignant tumors, such as lung cancer or lung metastases. In addition to inpatient treatment, the department provides services for the outpatients (about 2,000 cases annually).
Since November 2014, the department's surgeons have performed many interventions using the da Vinci surgical system. Of course, the surgical intervention is not carried out by the robot. The da Vinci system acts as a highly accurate instrument and its work is completely controlled by the surgeon.
The priority focus of the department's clinical practice is thoracic cancer surgery. All decisions on the diagnostics and treatment of malignant diseases of the lungs, bronchi, pleura and mediastinum are made taking into account the stage, size, type of tumor, localization, cardiovascular risk and age of the patient. The treatment strategy is developed in interdisciplinary cooperation with the specialists from related fields. Preference is always given to minimally invasive treatments.
