Prof. Dr. med. Thomas Mathias Gress
Department of Gastroenterology, Endocrinology, Metabolism and Clinical Infectology
Specialized in: gastroenterology, endocrinology, metabolism, clinical infectology About the Department of Gastroenterology, Endocrinology, Metabolism and Clinical Infectology at University Hospital Marburg UKGM
The Department of Gastroenterology, Endocrinology, Metabolism and Clinical Infectology at the University Hospital Marburg UKGM offers all the options of modern medicine for the diagnostics and treatment of benign and malignant diseases of the digestive system, liver, endocrine glands, as well as metabolic disorders and infectious diseases. In addition, the department enjoys an excellent reputation in the treatment of neuroendocrine tumors. The department operates an Endoscopy Section, a Section for Functional Diagnostics of the Endocrine Glands and many specialized Outpatient Clinics. There are 62 beds available for inpatient treatment. The Chief Physician of the department is Prof. Dr. med. Thomas Mathias Gress.
One of the most important focuses of the department’s work is interventional endoscopy of the gastrointestinal tract. The department performs minimally invasive diagnostic and therapeutic procedures. The therapy with the help of endoscopic techniques avoids open surgical interventions. The department’s doctors often carry out procedures to resect gastrointestinal tumors in the early stages, for example, polyps and adenomas. The Endoscopy Section also diagnoses and treats diseases of the bile ducts and pancreas. For example, video cholangioscopy allows for the examination of bile ducts and pancreatic ducts using the advanced digital mini-endoscopes. This method is effective for the diagnostics of stenosis and non-invasive removal of stones from the bile ducts. Stones in the bile duct are crushed using shock wave therapy, and then removed endoscopically. The spectrum is complemented by photodynamic therapy and endoscopic radiofrequency ablation of bile duct tumors, diagnostics and treatment using endoscopic ultrasound.
The department focuses on patients with malignancies of the digestive system, in particular, pancreatic, liver, gallbladder, bile duct tumors and neuroendocrine tumors (the department is certified as the European Center of Excellence for Neuroendocrine Tumors, the Center for Bowel Cancer and Pancreatic Cancer). The department’s specialists also have exceptional experience in the treatment of chronic inflammatory bowel diseases, inflammatory diseases of the pancreas and liver.
In the field of endocrinology of particular interest is the treatment of type 1 and type 2 diabetes mellitus, gestational diabetes mellitus and other forms of pathology, osteoporosis, dyslipidemia, obesity, thyroid gland and parathyroid diseases, adrenal gland diseases, etc. To make an accurate diagnosis, the department uses the very latest examinations, such as ultrasound studies, endosonography, bone mineral density measurement, bioimpedansometry, functional laboratory tests, hormonal tests and others.
