About the Department of General and Abdominal Surgery at University Hospital Freiburg

The Department of General and Abdominal Surgery at the University Hospital Freiburg offers treatment of all benign and malignant diseases of the internal organs. The department specializes in the treatment of diseases of the esophagus, gastrointestinal tract, liver, pancreas, bile ducts, endocrine glands, etc. Also, the department provides an effective treatment for a large number of patients with complications due to chronic inflammatory bowel diseases. Particular attention is paid to surgical and interdisciplinary treatment of cancers. The Chief Physician of the department is Prof. Dr. med. Stefan Fichtner-Feigl.

The team of the department offers the very latest surgical methods for malignant tumors of the esophagus and stomach, pancreas, liver, colon and small intestine, as well as hormone producing glands.
