About the department

The Department of General and Abdominal Surgery at the Hirslanden Clinic Aarau provides high-quality surgical treatment of benign and malignant gastrointestinal pathologies. The special competence is in the treatment of colon cancer, liver tumors, pancreatic cancer and stomach cancer. The department also performs surgical interventions to treat thyroid, parathyroid and adrenal diseases. The surgical options of the department are complemented by the treatment of inguinal hernias and epigastric hernias. The team of the department's doctors pays due attention to personal counseling of patients, informs them about possible treatment options and the predicted result. The Chief Physician of the department is Prof. Dr. med. Thomas Kocher.

If possible, the department's surgeons use sparing minimally invasive surgical techniques, which ensure the fastest recovery, minimal risks of postoperative complications and contribute to the exclusion of severe pain syndrome. There is no need to open up the abdominal cavity during such operations, as small incisions in the anterior abdominal wall ranging in size from 3 to 12 mm are sufficient for the surgeon. The operation is performed using special optical devices and surgical instruments, which provide the best possible accuracy and safety of surgical procedures.

The department’s main clinical focuses include:

  • Surgical treatment of benign and malignant gastrointestinal tumors
    • Surgical treatment of tumors of the esophagus, liver, gallbladder, pancreas, stomach, small intestine, colon and rectum
  • Surgical treatment of proctologic diseases
  • Endocrine surgery
    • Surgical treatment of thyroid diseases
    • Surgical treatment of parathyroid diseases
    • Surgical treatment of adrenal gland diseases
