About the department
The Department of Gastroenterology and Hepatology at the University Hospital Carl Gustav Carus Dresden offers the full range of accurate diagnostics and effective treatment of gastrointestinal diseases, including liver and pancreatic pathologies. Doctors cooperate closely with the Department of Abdominal, Thoracic and Vascular Surgery, as well as with the Comprehensive Cancer Center Dresden. The department has a modern Endoscopy Unit, where more than 6,000 endoscopic procedures are performed annually. In addition, the department has advanced equipment for comprehensive ultrasound and functional diagnostics of the gastrointestinal tract. The department's therapeutic options include drug therapy using the very latest and the most effective drugs, as well as endoscopic procedures, for example, to remove cysts and small tumors, as well as to restore the gastrointestinal patency. The department's doctors devote enough time to personal communication with patients: they tell in detail about the specifics of the disease and possible treatment options, as well as give recommendations for recovery after inpatient treatment. The department is headed by Prof. Dr. med. Jochen Hampe.
The department has a modern Endoscopy Unit, where more than 6,000 endoscopic procedures are performed every year. Along with conventional endoscopy, such modern techniques as endoscopic examination of the small intestine (double-balloon enteroscopy, capsule endoscopy), argon plasma coagulation for bleeding or superficial pathological changes in tissues, tissue staining during examination (chromoendoscopy), zoom endoscopy, confocal laser scanning microscopy and narrow-band imaging are used here. The department's specialists carry out endoscopic removal of large areas of the mucous membrane (mucosal resection) in the esophagus, stomach and bowel. In addition, the department has advanced equipment for comprehensive ultrasound and functional diagnostics of the gastrointestinal tract.
The treatment of gastrointestinal and liver diseases mostly involves the use of individually developed drug therapy and diet therapy. In some cases, patients require interventional procedures, and therefore the department's doctors have a perfect command of endoscopic techniques and have advanced equipment for such therapeutic manipulations. The duration of endoscopic therapeutic procedures can be from 15 minutes to 1 hour. Local anesthesia is usually used, so the patient does not experience any pain or discomfort.
The department's diagnostic and therapeutic options include:
- Diagnostic and therapeutic endoscopic procedures
- Esophagogastroduodenoscopy
- Colonoscopy
- Double-balloon enteroscopy
- Small bowel capsule endoscopy
- Colon capsule endoscopy
- Polypectomy

- Endoscopic hemostasis (for example, hemostatic injections, use of special clips, etc.)
- Varicose vein ligation
- Endoscopic retrograde cholangiopancreatography (ERCP)
- ERCP with an endoscopy system (for example, in patients after surgery)
