About the department

The Department of Pulmonology at the Hannover Medical School offers the full range of advanced diagnostics and treatment for patients with respiratory diseases. The department's doctors have exceptional competence in the field of patient care before and after lung transplantation, treatment of pulmonary hypertension, bronchiectasis, pulmonary fibrosis, cystic fibrosis, lung tumors and obstructive airway diseases. More than 20,000 patients with diseases of varying severity, including extremely rare ones, receive medical care in the department annually. The department's doctors are distinguished by high professionalism and vast experience, and also keep pace with innovative medical achievements. The department is headed by Prof. Dr. med. Tobias Welte.

The department has state-of-the-art medical equipment for accurate diagnostics, which allows the specialists to guarantee high-quality and effective treatment according to international standards. Bronchoscopy is one of the most commonly used diagnostic tests. The department's experts perform about 5,500 such procedures every year. If an oncological process is suspected in the lungs, bronchi and other thoracic organs, then a biopsy can also be performed during bronchoscopy. Bronchoscopy can be carried out both on an outpatient and inpatient basis. In addition, pulmonary function tests are an integral part of comprehensive diagnostics. With appropriate clinical indications, X-ray diagnostics, MRI and CT scanning of the thoracic organs can also be conducted.

One of the priority areas of work of the department's pulmonologists is the treatment of benign and malignant lung tumors. Should cancer be suspected, the attending physician individually selects a set of diagnostic tests, after which an accurate diagnosis is made for the patient. With confirmed cancer, the patient's clinical case is considered at an interdisciplinary tumor board with the participation of pulmonologists, oncologists, radiologists, radiation therapists, chemotherapists and other specialists. Quite often, one of the main stages in the treatment of thoracic cancer is surgical resection of the tumor, which is performed by thoracic surgeons.

The department's medical team successfully treats other complex pulmonary diseases, including bronchial asthma, cystic fibrosis, chronic obstructive pulmonary disease, interstitial lung diseases, pulmonary fibrosis, pulmonary emphysema, pulmonary hypertension, chronic pulmonary embolism, bronchiectasis, alpha-1-antitrypsin deficiency and other pathologies. In the case of above-mentioned diseases, the department's doctors use effective drug therapy regimens and carry out endoscopic procedures. If more radical therapeutic measures are required, then thoracic surgeons are involved in the therapeutic process.

The department has a progressive Sleep Laboratory, which has been certified by the German Society for Sleep Research and Sleep Medicine since 2015. The work of the laboratory specialists focuses on the diagnostics and treatment of sleep disorders caused by snoring or serious lung diseases. On average, more than 1,300 patients undergo diagnosticas and treatment in the laboratory each year.

The department's service range includes:

  • Diagnostics
    • Endoscopic diagnostics
      • Flexible and rigid bronchoscopy
      • Endobronchial ultrasound scanning
      • Diagnostic bronchoalveolar lavage
