        About the Department of Adult and Pediatric Thoracic Surgery at University Hospital Freiburg

        The Department of Adult and Pediatric Thoracic Surgery at the University Hospital Freiburg offers the full range of diagnostics and treatment of lung, thoracic and mediastinal diseases. The department is one of the largest specialized institutions in the field of thoracic surgery and thoracic endoscopy in Germany. Its operating rooms are equipped with the state-of-the-art equipment to provide optimal medical care before, during and after surgery. Preference is given to minimally invasive interventions, laser techniques that contribute to minimal damage of healthy tissues and ensure rapid recovery of the patient. The department is headed by Prof. Dr. med. Bernward Passlick, an outstanding physician with a worldwide reputation. According to the Focus magazine 2018, he is included in the rating of top German physicians!

        Lung tumor treatment is one of the clinical priorities of the department. In this field, doctors use a variety of innovative therapies available only here. Since the department regularly demonstrates a high rate of successful lung cancer treatment, it was certified as the Lung Cancer Center (by the German Cancer Society).

        The department specializes in the diagnostics and treatment of the following diseases:

        • Chest wall tumors
        • Tracheal stenosis
        • Diseases of the mediastinal organs, including cancers
        • Pulmonary emphysema
        • Lung cancer
        • Lung metastases
        • Benign lung tumors

        • Funnel-shaped chest
        • Other diseases and pathological conditions

        The service range of the department includes:

        • Bronchial interventions (most often, in lung cancer)
        • Bronchoscopy (one of the most important diagnostic techniques for the diagnosis of respiratory diseases and lung diseases)
        • Surgery to treat pulmonary emphysema
        • Endoscopic interventions to reduce lung volume
        • Management of airway stenosis (for example, tracheal stenosis)
        • Laser surgical interventions
        • Tracheal surgery (for example, in benign and malignant tumors)
        • Lung surgery

        • Lung transplantation (for example, in progressive cystic fibrosis, emphysema, COPD)
        • Minimally invasive thoracic surgery
        • Installation of catheters, for example, for chemotherapy
