About the department
The Department of Abdominal and Colorectal Surgery, Hepatobiliary Surgery, Hernia Surgery, Bariatric Surgery, Endocrine Surgery, Thoracic and Vascular Surgery at the University Hospital Carl Gustav Carus Dresden offers the full range of services in these medical fields. It provides surgical treatment of diseases of the gastrointestinal tract, thyroid and parathyroid glands, thoracic organs, vascular system, rectum, anus and colon. In addition, the department performs bariatric interventions for the treatment of morbid obesity. A special focus is made on the treatment of gastrointestinal cancer. Minimally invasive surgical techniques are always preferred, if clinically indicated. The team of the department's surgeons has 8 progressive operating rooms equipped with everything necessary for successful treatment. The department also has the da Vinci Xi surgical system for high-precision minimally invasive robot-assisted interventions. The patient's health is in the safe hands of the best German surgeons who have gone through a rigorous selection and have vast clinical experience. The department is headed by Prof. Dr. med. Jürgen Weitz.
Since 2014, the department has been a certified Gastrointestinal Cancer Center. The very latest diagnostic and therapeutic techniques are practiced and implemented here to ensure optimal medical care for patients with malignant tumors of the stomach, esophagus, small and large intestine, rectum, liver, biliary tract, and abdominal soft tissues. Of particular interest is pancreatic cancer treatment.
A special focus in the department is on vascular and endovascular surgery. About 75% of all vascular interventions are performed using a combined open and endovascular technique, or using endovascular technique (namely, a catheter) alone. The range of medical services includes all open and interventional surgical options for the optimal treatment of artery and vein pathologies – from varicose veins or "window shopper's disease" to endovascular and open surgeries on the arteries of internal organs, thoracic and abdominal aorta, as well as aortic arch.
In the field of thoracic surgery, the experienced department's specialists practice all modern surgical techniques for the treatment of diseases of the lungs, thoracic wall and mediastinal organs. The treatment of pulmonary diseases mostly involves the use of an innovative sparing surgical technique – video-assisted thoracoscopic surgery (VATS). This method avoids a traumatic thoracotomy, which is required in case of classic open surgery.
The department's colorectal surgeons are responsible for the treatment of hemorrhoids, rectal prolapse, anal fissures, anal abscesses and fistulas. The first-line treatment is drug therapy, but if medications do not give a satisfactory result, then surgery is prescribed to the patient.
The department's surgical options are complemented by bariatric interventions for the treatment of morbid obesity, hepatobiliary interventions for the treatment of liver, gallbladder and biliary tract diseases, as well as operations for the treatment of endocrine glands. In addition, the department's team of surgeons has successful experience in the surgical treatment of inguinal, umbilical, and incisional hernias. Preference is always given to sparing minimally invasive techniques that exclude extensive skin and soft tissue incisions.
