About the department
The Department of Dermatology and Allergology at the University Hospital Marburg UKGM offers all the modern diagnostic and therapeutic options for patients with skin diseases, including skin manifestations of allergic reactions. The department has been conducting successful clinical activities for more than 100 years, and therefore it has extensive experience and unique achievements in its area of specialization. Such advanced fields of dermatology as laser therapy, light therapy, dermatohistology, etc. are well developed in the department. It operates an emergency dermatological care service, which provides round-the-clock patient care. The Chief Physician of the department is Prof. Dr. med. Michael Hertl.
The priority focus of the department’s clinical work is dermatosurgery. The specialists in this field conduct surgical treatment of skin tumors, venous diseases, malformations and other skin diseases. With appropriate clinical indications, surgical interventions are performed using minimally invasive techniques. In addition, plastic reconstructive operations are successfully performed here. One of the department’s special offers in this focus is electrochemotherapy, which is used to treat certain types of skin and superficial metastases. The combination of electrical impulses with chemotherapeutic drugs mutually enhances the effect of both methods. It also makes it possible to reduce the dosage of a chemotherapeutic drug. Electrochemotherapy is performed under anesthesia (depending on the location of the tumor and the number of metastases, the procedure can be performed under general anesthesia or spinal anesthesia with additional sedation). On average, the procedure takes 30 minutes. The surgical options of the department are complemented by microscopically controlled surgery, plastic reconstructive interventions, skin transplantation, surgical treatment of chronic wounds and other surgical measures.
Laser therapy is widely used in clinical practice (for example, it serves for the removal of warts, scar revision, treatment of pathological changes in blood vessels and removal of unwanted hair). The department is fitted out with the cutting-edge equipment for ablative laser therapy (Erbium YAG laser and CO2 laser) for pathological changes in the skin, genetic skin diseases, as well as coagulation laser therapy for the treatment of blood vessel lesions.
In the field of allergology, various types of diagnostics and therapy are offered for patients suffering from allergies to food, drugs and insect venom, contact allergies, allergic rhinoconjunctivitis, urticaria and professional dermatoses. The department is part of the Allergy Center Hesse certified by the German Society of Allergology and Clinical Immunology as the Comprehensive Allergy Center.

- Diagnostics and treatment of skin tumors
