About the department
The Department of General and Abdominal Surgery, Hepatopancreatobiliary Surgery, Colorectal Surgery, Thoracic Surgery, Endocrine Surgery and Bariatric Surgery at the Hospital Frankfurt (Oder) specializes in performing a wide range of surgical interventions in the fields of its competence. The department operates on patients with diseases of the stomach, bowel, pancreas, biliary tract, liver, rectum, thyroid gland, parathyroid glands, and adrenal glands, with special attention being paid to cancer treatment. The primary focus of the department's clinical practice is the surgical treatment of diseases of the chest organs, excluding the heart. The team of thoracic surgeons successfully performs surgical interventions for lung cancer and lung metastases, mediastinal tumors, pneumothorax, pleurisy, and chest malformations. Another area of competence for the department's surgeons is bariatric surgery. Patients with morbid obesity are offered procedures such as intragastric balloon placement, gastric bypass surgery, and gastric banding. Many operations are performed using minimally invasive techniques, which ensures quick recovery in the postoperative period, low risks of complications, and excellent aesthetic results (barely noticeable scars remain). Thanks to their rich clinical experience and advanced technical base, surgeons successfully perform operations of any complexity. The department is headed by PD Dr. med. Michael Knoop.
Of particular interest for the department's team of general and abdominal surgeons is colon cancer treatment. This type of cancer is the second most common oncologic disease worldwide. In addition, colon cancer is among the most aggressive types of oncology. Patients with colon cancer receive medical care at a specialized center. Its work is certified by DIN EN ISO 9001:2015 and LGA InterCert GmbH standards. The Colon Cancer Center has a competent interdisciplinary team of physicians consisting of abdominal surgeons, oncologists, gastroenterologists, radiologists, and radiation therapists. The coordinated work of specialized doctors makes it possible to take into account the slightest peculiarities of the patient's clinical case and choose the optimal complex of therapeutic procedures for the patient. Before starting the treatment course, the patient undergoes comprehensive diagnostics, including laboratory tests, imaging tests (ultrasound, CT, and MRI), endoscopic examinations (colonoscopy and irrigoscopy), and a biopsy with a histological examination. As for the treatment, the best results provide a surgical resection of the malignant tumor (advanced stages require major resection with the removal of part of the organ). The advisability of the operation depends on the tumor location and the stage of the oncological process. In the advanced stages of cancer, curative surgery is not always possible, so palliative care comes to the fore in such cases. The treatment regimen also includes chemotherapy, radiation therapy, targeted therapy, and/or immunotherapy.
An integral part of the department's clinical practice is colorectal surgery. The specialists in this area operate on patients with hemorrhoids, rectal prolapse, rectal cancer, and anal cancer. The department also successfully performs anal sphincter reconstructive plastic surgery and anal sphincter electrostimulation procedures for the treatment of fecal incontinence. Patients with hemorrhoids often seek medical help from the department's colorectal surgeons. This disease is characterized by the pathological dilation of rectal blood vessels and the formation of hemorrhoidal nodes. Hemorrhoids are accompanied by unpleasant symptoms, such as a feeling of heaviness and burning in the anus, blood discharge after defecation, and pain during defecation. The early stages of the disease can be treated with conservative methods, so the specialists can prescribe patients rectal suppositories, antispasmodics, and anti-inflammatory drugs. In the advanced stages, the department's colorectal surgeons resort to minimally traumatic surgical interventions, including sclerotherapy, rubber band ligation, and infrared photocoagulation. The last-line treatment, which may be used in the most complex clinical cases, is a hemorrhoidectomy. This surgical procedure involves the excision of the hemorrhoidal nodes using a laser or a scalpel.
The team of thoracic surgeons performs surgical treatment for benign and malignant respiratory diseases. The focus of the specialists is on patients with lung cancer and lung metastases. Along with colon cancer, lung cancer is among the most common and life-threatening types of oncology. The success of lung cancer treatment largely depends on a high-quality diagnosis, because the specialists determine the stage of the oncological process and the grade of the tumor during the examination. A diagnostic protocol for suspected lung cancer includes CT and/or MRI scans of the chest organs, bronchoscopy, mediastinoscopy, biochemical blood tests, tumor marker tests, and a histological examination of the material obtained during a biopsy. The treatment regimen for lung cancer is developed during multidisciplinary tumor boards with the participation of thoracic surgeons, oncologists, and radiation therapists. Thoracic surgeons are responsible for performing surgical resection of the malignant tumor or part of the affected lung. The optimal type of surgical intervention depends on the stage of the oncologic disease. In cases of localized cancer, doctors perform a marginal resection, which involves removing the tumor and adjacent areas of healthy lung tissue. The surgical treatment for advanced stages includes a segmentectomy, during which surgeons excise the tumor with part of the lung, or a lobectomy involving the surgical removal of a lung lobe. If extensive spread of the malignant process is detected, a pneumonectomy (surgery to remove the lung) is performed. Whenever possible, the department's thoracic surgeons perform lung cancer surgery using video-assisted thoracoscopic surgical techniques (minimally traumatic techniques). The surgical treatment is often combined with conservative therapy, such as chemotherapy, radiation therapy, targeted therapy, and immunotherapy.
The department also has particular competence in bariatric surgery. Surgical interventions of this spectrum are indicated for patients with morbid obesity, which is diagnosed when the body mass index is 40 kg/m2 or higher and the patient cannot normalize it through diet, exercises, and drugs. The department's surgeons skillfully perform intragastric balloon placement, gastric bypass, and gastric banding. The goal of each of these operations is to reduce the volume of the stomach by placing an intragastric balloon, suturing the stomach and dividing it into small and large parts (gastric bypass), and applying a band to the upper part of the stomach (gastric banding). After bariatric surgery, the volume of the stomach is significantly reduced, resulting in a feeling of fullness faster and with less food consumed. Bariatric surgery is performed using minimally invasive techniques, so postoperative recovery occurs rapidly. Following the surgical intervention, nutritionists and trainers work with the patient. They individually develop a diet and select the optimal set of physical exercises.

- General and abdominal surgery
