About the department

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).

  • 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
  • Radical removal of malignant lung tumors
  • Sparing lung surgery (removal of lung areas affected by a tumor, with reconstruction of the bronchi and vessels to maintain intact parts of the lung)
  • Lung transplantation (for example, in progressive cystic fibrosis, emphysema, COPD)

About hospital

The University Hospital Freiburg is famous for its rich history and is one of the oldest and most prestigious medical facilities in Germany (one of the three best medical institutions in the country). The hospital was based on the Faculty of Medicine of the Albert Ludwig University of Freiburg, which celebrated its 550th anniversary in 2007. It should be noted that the hospital is proud of its world-renowned specialists, many of whom during their work here have become Nobel laureates.

The medical facility represents all fields of modern medicine. It consists of 42 departments, 11 institutes and 10 interdisciplinary centers. The highly qualified doctors of the hospital deal with the treatment and rehabilitation of patients with both common and rare diseases. All departments and institutes of the hospital take an active part in fundamental researches of international scale, due to which patients have access to the very latest achievements of medicine, advanced diagnostic methods, state-of-the-art medical equipment and proven effective methods of therapy.

The hospital has a variety of medical achievements, for example, the world's first TIPS procedure, the first implantation of the Jarvik-2000 artificial heart in Europe, the first robotic-assisted surgery on the brain, and the first combined cardiopulmonary transplantation in the land of Baden-Württemberg. In 2004, the University Hospital Freiburg became the first German hospital, which performed kidney transplantation in the incompatibility of blood groups. At the moment, the hospital belongs to medical centers with the greatest experience in performing such an operation.

An interdisciplinary approach to treatment, highly qualified staff, as well as individual patient care and a pleasant environment are key to the hospital’s success.
