About the department
The Department of General and Abdominal Surgery, Hepatopancreatobiliary Surgery, Colorectal Surgery, Endocrine Surgery and Hernia Surgery at the ISAR Hospital Munich offers the full range of surgical treatment in its areas of competence. In the modern operating rooms of the department, benign and malignant diseases of the stomach, esophagus, colon, rectum, anal canal, liver, gallbladder, and bile ducts are operated on. The specialists successfully perform hernioplasty with mesh implants for inguinal, umbilical, and incisional hernias. In the field of endocrine surgery, the department's team of doctors offers surgical treatment for thyroid and parathyroid pathologies. The specialists have excellent professional skills in the field of minimally invasive surgery; the department has been certified by the German Society for General and Abdominal Surgery (DGAV) as a Center of Excellence for Minimally Invasive Surgery. In addition, one of the operating rooms of the medical facility is equipped with the latest generation da Vinci surgical robot. It is worth noting that only a small number of medical centers in European countries specialize in performing robot-assisted operations on the gastrointestinal tract. An important role here is given to caring for the patient’s comfort: patients are surrounded by attention during the therapeutic process, specialists show understanding and a humane attitude, and support them in every possible way.
The Head Physician of the department is Prof. Dr. med. Franz Bader. He is one of the best specialists in Germany in the field of minimally invasive surgery for gastrointestinal diseases and is highly skilled in da Vinci robot-assisted surgery. Dr. Bader's professional training took place at the best hospitals in Germany, including the University Hospital Luebeck, which is recognized as one of the leading centers for minimally invasive surgery in Europe. In parallel with his successful clinical practice, Prof. Franz Bader is actively involved in research activities, the results of which are demonstrated in more than 100 scientific papers in national and international publications.
The department's abdominal surgeons have excellent professional skills in the treatment of stomach and esophageal diseases. They mostly operate on patients with gastroesophageal reflux disease (GERD), diverticular disease, esophageal cancer, gastric cancer, gastrointestinal neuroendocrine tumors, and peritoneal carcinomatosis. At the stage of examining patients suspected of having the above pathologies, gastroenterologists and radiologists are involved in the diagnostic process. Gastroesophageal reflux disease, in which acidic stomach contents reflux into the esophagus, is typically well controlled by medication. However, when medications do not achieve the desired result, doctors offer patients surgical treatment options. The most effective surgical procedure for GERD is fundoplication, the essence of which is to wrap the fundus of the stomach around the esophagus. This allows for the creation of a cuff that prevents gastric contents from refluxing into the esophagus. Fundoplication is performed in the department using minimally invasive techniques.
Of particular interest to the department's abdominal surgeons is the surgical treatment of esophageal and stomach malignancies. Each clinical case is reviewed by an interdisciplinary tumor board with the participation of abdominal surgeons, gastroenterologists, oncologists, radiation therapists, radiologists, and other experts. In most cases, the patient receives neoadjuvant chemotherapy and/or radiation therapy to shrink the size of the tumor, followed by one of the following surgical procedures: esophagectomy (removal of part or all of the esophagus) for esophageal cancer or gastrectomy (removal of part or all of the stomach) for stomach cancer. Whenever possible, the department uses sparing laparoscopic techniques or da Vinci robot-assisted surgery for the surgical treatment of stomach and esophageal cancer.
Abdominal surgeons also successfully operate on patients with peritoneal carcinomatosis. This oncopathology is a multifocal tumor lesion of the peritoneum due to metastasis of malignant neoplasms of various primary localizations. Peritoneal carcinomatosis is a complex oncological disease that was virtually untreatable not so long ago. The department's specialists provide innovative treatment using cytoreductive surgery in combination with hyperthermic intraperitoneal chemotherapy (HIPEC). In this case, the primary tumor and metastatic foci are first removed as much as possible, after which the abdominal cavity is rinsed with a solution of chemotherapy drugs heated to 42-43°C for about 90 minutes. The HIPEC procedure allows for local treatment of malignant lesions in the abdominal cavity with high doses of chemotherapy drugs without their entering the systemic circulation, resulting in effective destruction of cancer cells and virtually eliminating the side effects of chemotherapy. In addition, by heating the solution of chemotherapy drugs to high temperatures, their penetration into tumor sites is improved.
Hepatopancreatobiliary surgery is well developed in the department. This medical field focuses on operations for liver, gallbladder, bile duct, and pancreatic diseases. The department's specialists perform resections of liver cysts, liver hemangiomas, liver adenomas, focal nodular hyperplasia, malignant liver tumors, and liver metastases. Almost all operations for liver diseases are performed using minimally invasive techniques. Radiofrequency ablation and microwave ablation procedures are successfully used to remove liver malignancies and liver metastases. Surgeons in this specialty also treat cholelithiasis, cholecystitis, gallbladder polyps, gallbladder cancer, and bile duct cancer. Doctors perform cholecystectomy (surgery to remove the gallbladder) using minimally invasive techniques, with a hospital stay lasting only 2 days. Another important focus for hepatopancreatobiliary surgeons is the treatment of pancreatic diseases. Particular attention is paid to operations for pancreatitis, benign neoplasms (for example, serous cystadenomas, mucinous cystadenomas, etc.), and pancreatic cancer. If clinically indicated, da Vinci robot-assisted surgery can also be used to remove benign pancreatic tumors.
The department's therapeutic offer is complemented by colorectal surgery. The medical facility is recognized as a Center of Excellence for Colorectal Surgery by the German Society for General and Abdominal Surgery (DGAV). The specialists in this field operate on patients with colon cancer, rectal cancer, inflammatory bowel disease (Crohn's disease and ulcerative colitis), rectal prolapse, fecal incontinence, hemorrhoids, as well as anal fistulas, abscesses, and fissures. The optimal type of surgical procedure is prescribed on an individual basis. Colorectal surgery is performed at the medical facility using minimally invasive techniques.

About hospital
The ISAR Hospital Munich first opened its doors to patients in March 2008 and took a leading position among the top medical facilities in the city of Munich in a short time. The hospital embodies a progressive concept of international medical care: diagnostics and treatment are carried out using the latest medical advances, while the patient receives comprehensive care in a pleasant environment. The work of the medical complex is based on an individual approach to each patient and their clinical case.
The ISAR Hospital Munich has 12 specialized departments, each of which treats a specific group of diseases. The medical facility has particularly successful results in the surgical treatment of diseases of the gastrointestinal tract, heart disease, musculoskeletal pathologies, spinal conditions, and urological pathologies. The hospital has a large medical team, which includes more than 850 employees, including well-known professors in professional circles. More than 140,000 patients come here for medical care every year, which indicates the hospital's excellent reputation and a high level of trust among patients. The hospital has 250 beds.
In addition to having highly qualified medical staff, the hospital is proud of its excellent technical base, which largely determines the quality of treatment. In this context, it is worth noting the hospital's operating rooms, which are equipped with state-of-the-art devices. For example, the hospital has the da Vinci robotic system. Robot-assisted operations for gastrointestinal diseases are successfully performed with its help, and the medical complex is one of the few in Germany and Europe that can offer such treatment. The operating rooms of the Department of Spinal Surgery are equipped with the O-Arm intraoperative computed tomography system. This equipment allows for the highest accuracy and safety of surgical manipulations on the spine, because the slightest mistake may lead to disability. The O-Arm device belongs to the category of expensive medical equipment, so not every hospital in Europe can afford it.
The quality of medical services at the ISAR Hospital Munich has been awarded with many prestigious certificates, including the ISO 9001:2015 certificate, the IQM certificate, the certification of the German Society for General and Abdominal Surgery (DGAV) as a Center of Excellence for Minimally Invasive Surgery, the certificate of the German Society of Cardiology (DGK) for outstanding achievements in the treatment of acute coronary syndrome, the certificate of the German Knee Society (DKG), and others.
