About the department
According to the Focus magazine, the Department of Pediatric Surgery at the University Hospital of Ludwig Maximilian University of Munich ranks among the top German medical facilities in the area of its specialization!
The department provides the full range of diagnostics and surgical treatment of various diseases in newborns, young children, and adolescents. The medical facility has been conducting its successful clinical practice for over 175 years, and therefore it is rightfully proud of its long history and rich experience. The health of young patients is in the safe hands of a large team of doctors with many qualifications and impeccable professional skills. The priority focuses of the work of the department's surgeons include operations for congenital malformations, the consequences of injuries and burns, benign and malignant neoplasms, and diseases of the abdominal cavity, chest, and nervous system. The department annually performs more than 1,900 surgical procedures of varying degrees of complexity. All modern surgical techniques and advanced computerized medical equipment are available here, so that young patients receive the most effective and safe treatment. In addition, the department’s specialists provide children and their parents with professional psychological care. The department is headed by Prof. Dr. med. Oliver Muensterer.
Many young patients are admitted to the department with diseases of the abdominal organs, including those of the gastrointestinal tract. The team of pediatric surgeons successfully performs operations for congenital diaphragmatic hernia, atresia of the small and large intestine, anus, esophagus, and duodenum, gastroschisis, ileal perforation, necrotizing enterocolitis, intussusception, and other pathologies. The specialists always strive to perform surgery using low-traumatic techniques to reduce the risks to the child's health and accelerate the recovery process after the operation.
The department's common clinical cases include diseases and malformations of the nervous system such as hydrocephalus, craniosynostosis, meningomyelocele, encephalocele, plagiocephaly, traumatic brain injuries, etc. Hydrocephalus is a pathological condition marked by the accumulation of fluid in the ventricles of the brain. During an operation to treat an anomaly, surgeons place special shunts to drain excess fluid into the abdominal cavity. Doctors also perform surgical interventions to implant innovative self-adjusting gravitational shunts (since 2004). In some cases, it is possible to perform endoscopic operations to treat hydrocephalus. The repair of other nervous system malformations listed above is also performed using modern surgical techniques.
The department's surgical options are complemented by the treatment of diseases of the urinary system and reproductive system in boys. Doctors have special competence in surgery for duplex kidney and associated anomalies, bladder epispadias and exstrophy, congenital posterior urethral valves, megaureter, varicocele, vesicoureteral reflux, and other urologic diseases. Depending on the particular pathology, the department's surgeons perform minimally invasive, endoscopic, and open surgeries. The last treatment option is only resorted to in particularly complex clinical cases.
The department's main clinical activities are as follows:
- Emergency surgery for acute pathological conditions
- Surgical treatment of diseases of the abdominal organs in children, including those of the gastrointestinal tract
