About the Department of Pediatric Surgery at University Hospital Bonn

The Department of Pediatric Surgery at the University Hospital Bonn offers the full range of surgical treatment of premature and newborn babies, infants, young children and adolescents with congenital malformations, oncological pathologies, abdominal and thoracic pathologies, as well as urological diseases and injuries. The preference is given to sparing, minimally invasive surgical techniques. All the department’s specialists aim to ensure each young patient with an optimal age-appropriate treatment and care. At the same time, they also take into account the parents’ wishes. The Chief Physician of the department is Dr. med. Andreas Heydweiller.

The decisive factor for the successful treatment is an interdisciplinary approach. If necessary, the therapeutic process involves pediatricians, general surgeons, pediatric anesthesiologists, radiologists, neurosurgeons, obstetricians, specialists in the field of perinatal medicine, plastic surgeons, specialists in the field of oral and maxillofacial surgery, etc.

The department provides both inpatient and outpatient surgical treatment. The operating rooms are equipped with all the advanced technologies, including special medical systems for minimally invasive surgery. The surgical interventions are performed by highly competent surgeons, who have a perfect command of the most advanced techniques and easily handle even the most complicated clinical cases.

A distinguishing feature of the department is the highest level of expertise in the treatment of rare pathologies. For example, the department successfully treats rare congenital lung malformations (diaphragmatic hernias, cystic adenomatous lung malformations, pulmonary sequestration), gastrointestinal diseases (intestinal atresia, gastroschisis), congenital malformations of the urogenital tract, spine, etc.
