About the department

The Department of General, Abdominal, Thoracic and Vascular Surgery at the University Hospital Bonn offers the full range of diagnostic and treatment services in these areas. The special competence of the department’s specialists lies in the field of surgical treatment of malignant diseases of the esophagus, stomach, intestines, liver, pancreas, lungs, thyroid, adrenal glands and tumor metastases in tissues and organs. The service spectrum is complemented by transplant surgery, namely liver and pancreas transplantations. Key role is played by interdisciplinary collaboration. The Chief Physician of the department is Prof. Dr. med. Jörg C. Kalff.

The treatment plans for cancer patients are developed by the interdisciplinary teams, which include specialists from all the relevant fields. If necessary, surgery is complemented by chemotherapy and/or radiation therapy. To operate with less damage to the body and to accelerate patient recovery after surgery, preference is given to minimally invasive surgical interventions.

Another department’s competence is abdominal surgery that focuses on surgical procedures performed in the abdominal region. These include diseases of the esophagus, stomach, small intestine and colon, spleen, liver and gallbladder (gastrointestinal surgery), as well as the thyroid gland, parathyroid glands, adrenal glands and pancreas (endocrine surgery). The use of modern minimally invasive techniques provides a more sparing and safe treatment for the patient.

One of the most common diagnoses faced by surgeons of the department is lung cancer (bronchogenic cancer) and lung metastases from cancer in other organs. In addition, the tasks of the department’s thoracic surgeons include the treatment of tumors and metastases to the mediastinal organs (thymic tumors, neurogenic tumors, etc.), pleural tumors, inflammatory diseases of the lungs and pleura, pneumothorax, vascular anomalies of the lungs, etc. The doctors use multimodal treatment programs that combine chemotherapy and/or radiation therapy with surgery in different sequences.

The vascular surgery team has an excellent reputation. Thanks to close cooperation with the Departments of Radiology and Interventional Angiology, along with surgery, the department offers all endovascular and interventional treatments, as well as special methods, such as endoluminal therapy of the infrarenal aortic aneurysm using stent graft. Major interventions on the thoracic aorta are performed in collaboration with the Department of Cardiovascular Surgery using a heart-lung machine.

The department’s diagnostic and therapeutic service range includes:

  • General surgery
    • All standard operations (surgical treatment of hernia, etc.)
    • Surgical treatment of internal organs (thyroid, etc.)
    • Surgical repair of minor defects (skin abscesses, etc.)

    • Surgical treatment of the thyroid gland and parathyroid glands, adrenal glands and pancreas (endocrine surgery)
    • Treatment of diseases of the colon, small intestine and rectum (colorectal surgery and proctology)
    • Treatment of malignancies of the liver, pancreas, bile ducts and gallbladder (hepatopancreatobiliary surgery)
