Specialized in: gastroenterology, hepatology, infectology About the Department of Gastroenterology, Hepatology and Infectology at Helios Hospital Berlin-Buch
The Department of Gastroenterology, Hepatology and Infectology at the Helios Hospital Berlin-Buch offers the widest range of diagnostic examinations and treatments for patients with diseases of the gastrointestinal tract, liver, biliary tract, as well as infectious diseases. The department operates the specialized Endoscopy Center, which serves for diagnostic and therapeutic procedures. There is also the Laboratory for Functional Gastrointestinal Diagnostics. The modern technical base and the exceptional professionalism of doctors make it possible to guarantee an optimal result for each patient. The department is headed by Prof. Dr. med. Frank Kolligs.

Particular attention is paid to the treatment of patients with inflammatory bowel diseases and patients with abdominal malignancies.
Great attention is paid to the treatment of benign and malignant liver diseases. An innovative technique for the treatment of hepatological pathologies is transjugular intrahepatic portosystemic shunting. The department's specialists are fluent in this treatment technique, as well as in many others.
An important aspect of the department's work is the medical care of patients with infectious lesions of the gastrointestinal tract and liver (for example, infectious diarrheal diseases, recurrent bacterial infections, hepatitis A, B, C, D, E).
