About the department
According to Focus magazine, the Department of Adult and Pediatric General, Abdominal, Transplant Surgery at the University Hospital RWTH Aachen ranks among the top German medical facilities specializing in bowel cancer treatment!
The department performs surgical treatment of general surgical diseases, abdominal pathologies, and also specializes in organ transplantation. Of particular interest are surgical oncology of the abdominal organs, as well as pancreatic and liver surgery. The department annually performs more than 3,000 surgical interventions, which contributes to its credibility at the national level. The Chief Physician of the department is Prof. Dr. med. Ulf Peter Neumann.
The department has four high-tech operating rooms with advanced equipment, for example, CUSA and LIMAX systems for liver surgery, modern high-resolution HD technology for minimally invasive surgery and special instruments for laparoscopic surgery.
Preference is always given to sparing minimally invasive surgery, which is characterized by several advantages, namely the absence of large scars, quick recovery of the patient, minimal blood loss and the risk of infections. At the moment, minimally invasive surgery has reached a high level of development and it is increasingly used for the treatment of abdominal tumors, which previously could be removed exclusively through laparotomy access.
Individually adapted treatment concept is important for the department's doctors. The patient's wishes will be necessarily taken into account. A crucial role is also given to the interdisciplinary approach, namely, the specialists from the Departments of Internal Medicine, Radiology and Anesthesia are involved in the treatment process. The patient medical care meets the requirements of the specialized societies. Only modern, reliable and proven treatment methods are used in clinical practice.
Since the key to successful treatment is accurate diagnostics, the doctors offer patients the most informative imaging examinations, such as computed tomography (CT), magnetic resonance imaging (MRI) and positron emission tomography (PET). These techniques allow not only to carry out the accurate diagnostics, but also to plan the surgical intervention in detail. Thus, the department's doctors have the opportunity to treat those surgical diseases, which until recently were considered incurable.
