The department also successfully performs operations to treat diseases of the gallbladder, thyroid gland, rectum, anus, and abdominal adhesions. The surgical options of the medical facility are complemented by hernia repair and morbid obesity treatment. All interventions are performed using minimally invasive techniques in specially equipped, high-tech operating rooms. The department was one of the first highly specialized medical facilities to start practicing minimally invasive surgery, and today it boasts 25 years of experience in this field. The department's specialists perform more than 7,000 operations every year, achieving excellent treatment outcomes. At the same time, patients are guaranteed the highest safety of surgical treatment.
Department for Obesity Treatment
The Department for Obesity Treatment offers effective programs for people with morbid obesity, which is associated with numerous health risks and may lead to a reduction in life expectancy and a decrease in its quality. The weight loss programs are provided both on an inpatient and outpatient basis. These are based on the following three main principles: nutrition correction, physical activity, and the rejection of negative behavioral habits (the development of self-discipline and self-confidence). Standard treatment programs include counseling, a comprehensive medical check-up, a customized exercise program, a customized nutrition plan, psychological group therapy, and other weight loss measures. In complex cases, the department's patients are recommended for a bariatric intervention, for example, intragastric balloon placement or gastric banding. The department's patients are treated in close cooperation with colleagues from the specialized Obesity Center Süd-West at the Schwarzwald-Baar Hospital. At every stage of the patient's struggle for a slim and healthy body, he receives the necessary support and psychological assistance, which is also an integral part of a successful therapeutic process.
