About the department
The Department of General, Abdominal, Thoracic and Transplant Surgery at the University Hospital Hiessen UKGM offers all the options of surgical treatment in its areas of specialization, including endocrine surgery and obesity surgery. Of particular interest is the treatment of cancer pathologies. The department is certified by the German Cancer Society as a Center Bowel, Pancreatic and Stomach Cancers. The surgical treatment is carried out by highly qualified surgeons who have a perfect command of both classic and advanced surgical techniques. Whenever possible, operations are performed using sparing minimally invasive techniques. The department is headed by Prof. Dr. med. Dr. h.c. Winfried Padberg.
The department employs a specialized medical team for endocrine surgery. The doctors of this focus deal with the surgical treatment of all diseases of the thyroid gland, parathyroid glands, thymus, adrenal glands and pancreas. Most endocrine surgical procedures are performed using minimally invasive techniques. For example, this applies to thyroid interventions. After such operations the patient has an inconspicuous scar 15-20 mm long on his neck. In addition, the offered service spectrum also includes a minimally invasive axillo-bilateral-breast approach (ABBA method), which does not leave scars on the neck.
Another department’s priority is transplant surgery. Surgical options include lung transplantation (unilateral and bilateral) and kidney transplantation. The main indications for lung transplantation are chronic obstructive pulmonary disease (COPD), pulmonary fibrosis and cystic fibrosis. Lung transplantation has been performed in the department since 1999. Currently, the surgeons of the department perform about 15 such operations annually. The intervention is performed using thoracotomy (incision of the chest wall), without connecting the patient to the heart-lung machine. Kidney transplantation is performed in chronic kidney failure. Such operations have been performed in the department since 1993. During this time the department has performed more than 500 kidney transplants. The department is the leader in the Federal State of Hesse in the number of operations performed, the percentage of survival after transplantation, as well as in the number of kidney transplants from a living donor.
The specialists in the field of abdominal surgery are responsible for the surgical treatment of patients with diseases of the entire digestive tract (esophagus, stomach, small and large intestine, rectum, liver and pancreas). In addition, the surgeons specialize in the treatment of inguinal and umbilical hernias. With appropriate indications, minimally invasive operations are performed. The spectrum is also complemented by surgical interventions through the natural orifices of the body – natural orifice transluminal endoscopic surgery (NOTES).
It is worth noting that the department includes the Center for Hyperthermic Intraperitoneal Chemotherapy (HIPEC). The doctors of the center treat peritoneal carcinomatosis. The combination of hyperthermic intraperitoneal chemotherapy with surgical treatment can also be used for colorectal cancer, abdominal pseudomyxoma, mesothelioma, gastric cancer and ovarian cancer. The decision on this type of treatment is made at interdisciplinary tumor boards with the participation of surgeons, therapists, oncologists and other experts.
