Department of Pediatric Traumatology and Surgery
Specialized in: pediatric traumatology, surgery About the Department of Pediatric Traumatology and Surgery at University Hospital Halle (Saale)
The Department of Pediatric Traumatology and Surgery at the University Hospital Halle (Saale) offers a full range of highly precise diagnostics and effective treatment for children and adolescents from 0 to 16 years of age. The department's specialists focus on young patients with traumatic injuries of any severity, bone cysts, pectus excavatum, congenital and acquired diseases of the urinary system and genitals in boys, vascular malformations, and benign and malignant tumors. In cooperation with doctors from the Department of Neonatology and the Department of Obstetrics, comprehensive care is provided for newborns and premature infants with congenital malformations and acute emergency conditions. The department's team of pediatric surgeons in the department prefers minimally invasive surgical techniques and many minor surgical procedures are performed on an outpatient basis. Young patients are treated in accordance with the requirements of the German Society of Pediatric Surgery (DGKCH) and the German Trauma Society (DGU). The specialists of the medical facility always devote sufficient time to consulting young patients and their parents, providing detailed information about the specifics of the upcoming treatment. The Head Physician of the department is Prof. Dr. med. Martin Kaiser.
In the area of pediatric traumatology, the department provides comprehensive medical care for young patients with fractures (including growth plate fractures), ligament sprains, and burn injuries. An important area of work for the department's specialists is the treatment of knee joint injuries, with particular emphasis on cruciate ligament and meniscus injuries. The department uses conservative treatment or arthroscopic procedures to treat knee injuries. This depends on the complexity of the clinical case.
The department's pediatric surgeons have unique expertise in the diagnosis and treatment of vascular neoplasms and vascular malformations. The most common vascular tumor in children is a hemangioma, a benign tumor formed from blood vessels. In most cases, hemangiomas in children are not dangerous from a medical point of view, but in open areas of the body, on the face and neck, they become a cosmetic defect. Hemangiomas are mostly congenital and are formed during the intrauterine development of the child. Treatment tactics are determined depending on the size, shape, and location of the tumor, the general condition of the young patient, and the presence or absence of concomitant pathologies. For example, doctors can perform laser removal of hemangiomas, cryodestruction, electrocoagulation, sclerotherapy, or embolization. It is important that the above methods not only allow doctors to effectively remove a hemangioma, but also provide the best aesthetic results.
The therapeutic offer of the department is completed by the surgical treatment of urological diseases in children. The department's surgeons operate on young patients with enuresis (urinary incontinence), bladder emptying disorders, phimosis, varicocele, hydrocele, testicular torsion, cryptorchidism, hydronephrosis, megaureter, urethral valves, ureteral stenosis, ureterocele, duplicated kidneys, bladder exstrophy, urinary tract tumors, and other pathologies. Surgical procedures are performed using minimally invasive techniques, often on an outpatient basis.
The department's main clinical activities are as follows:
- Surgical treatment of injuries of any severity: bone fractures (including growth plate fractures), sprains, meniscal injuries, and burns
- Surgical treatment of vascular neoplasms and vascular malformations
- Surgical treatment of congenital and acquired diseases of the genitourinary system in boys and girls
- Surgical treatment of congenital diseases and emergency conditions in newborns and premature infants
- Surgical treatment of bone cysts
- Surgical treatment of benign and malignant tumors
- Surgical repair of pectus excavatum
- Treatment of complex regional pain syndrome
- Other medical services
