About the department
The Department of Gastroenterology, Hepatology and Endocrinology at the HELIOS University Hospital Wuppertal offers the widest range of services in the areas of its specialization and is one of the largest medical facilities of this kind in Germany. The team of the department's doctors carries out high-precision diagnostics and effective treatment of diseases of the gastrointestinal tract, liver and biliary tract, as well as endocrine glands. The department's therapeutic offer also includes the provision of medical care to patients with type I and II diabetes mellitus. The gastroenterologists of the medical facility have at their disposal a specialized Section for Endoscopy and Sonography, where they perform a variety of diagnostic and therapeutic procedures: color and pulsed Doppler ultrasonography, liver elastography, esophagogastroduodenoscopy, colonoscopy and capsule endoscopy, argon plasma coagulation, polypectomy, endoscopic mucosal resection, biliary stricture balloon dilatation and others. In addition, the department has a Section for Gastrointestinal Functional Diagnostics. The department has 80 beds. The medical facility provides treatment to more than 4,800 inpatients every year, and many patients receive outpatient medical services. The Head Physician of the department is Prof. Dr. med. Christian Prinz.
The department's primary focus is on the diagnostics and treatment of digestive diseases. The doctor studies the patient's medical history and listens to his complaints during the first consultation, after which he prescribes the necessary set of laboratory tests and ultrasound scans. If the results of ultrasound examination do not allow making an accurate diagnosis, the attending physician plans further diagnostic measures – endoscopic procedures. Depending on the specific indications, the department carries out endoscopic examinations such as esophagogastroduodenoscopy, colonoscopy, double balloon enteroscopy for examining the small intestine, small bowel capsule endoscopy, endoscopic retrograde cholangiopancreatography, chromoendoscopy for early detection of gastrointestinal neoplasms, etc. Whenever required, the diagnostic plan also includes tomographic imaging tests: CT and/or MRI. The department's specialists have vast experience in the field of their competence, and therefore they guarantee high accuracy of diagnosis and effectiveness of further treatment. The therapy regimen is developed on an individual basis, taking into account the specific clinical case and the patient's health status. If possible, the treatment of gastrointestinal diseases begins with modern pharmacotherapy. Nevertheless, it is impossible to get rid of some pathological gastrointestinal conditions exclusively with the help of medications. In such cases, the department's gastroenterologists consider the option of endoscopic therapy. The patients of the department are offered all types of modern endoscopic procedures, including measures to stop bleeding, resection of benign neoplasms and malignant tumors at the early stages, elimination of stenosis of the intestine, esophagus and other digestive organs, removal of bile duct stones, etc.
The department is part of the Colon Cancer Center certified by the German Cancer Society (DKG). The department’s specialists recommend patients to undergo regular preventive colonoscopy that helps them to detect colon polyps (precursors of colon cancer) and remove them using endoscopic techniques. However, if the patient seeks medical care in the advanced stages of cancer, more extensive surgery is required (laparoscopic interventions are performed, if clinically indicated). In addition, the treatment protocol for advanced colon cancer usually includes chemotherapy and radiation therapy. The patients also receive effective palliative care for pain management at the advanced stages of cancer.
An equally important focus of the department's clinical practice is on the treatment of liver and biliary tract diseases. The doctors of the medical facility pay special attention to the treatment of viral and autoimmune hepatitis, cholestatic liver lesions, fatty liver disease, cystic liver neoplasms, benign and malignant liver tumors, as well as liver cirrhosis. The area of responsibility of the department's hepatologists includes pharmacotherapy and endoscopic therapeutic procedures. In complex clinical cases, the patient may require surgery, which is performed in collaboration with abdominal surgeons.
Endocrinologists of the medical facility admit patients with diseases of the endocrine glands: thyroid gland, parathyroid glands and adrenal glands. The department's doctors also specialize in the treatment of type I and II diabetes mellitus. To diagnose endocrine disorders, hormone tests and ultrasound scanning are sufficient in most cases. The treatment involves the use of various pharmacotherapy regimens. The treatment tactics are adjusted in accordance with the patient's needs and wishes.
