About the department
The Department of General and Abdominal Surgery, Hernia Surgery, Vascular Surgery, Endocrine Surgery and Bariatric Surgery at the University Hospital Halle (Saale) offers a full range of surgical treatments in its areas of specialization at the highest level of university medicine. The department operates on patients with abdominal cancers, with a special focus on stomach, esophageal, colon, pancreatic, and liver cancers, inflammatory gastrointestinal diseases, hernias, and vascular diseases, as well as pathologies of the thyroid gland, parathyroid glands, adrenal glands, and neuroendocrine tumors. The department is certified in accordance with the standards of the German Cancer Society (DKG) for its high success rates in the surgical treatment of oncological diseases and has also been awarded the DGH Siegel certificate by the German Hernia Society. The department presents the direction of bariatric surgery, whose specialists excel in the treatment of morbid obesity with procedures such as gastric bypass, gastric banding, sleeve gastroplasty, and biliopancreatic diversion with duodenal switch. In their clinical practice, the department's surgeons mainly use modern minimally traumatic surgical techniques. The department performs minimally invasive, robotic (da Vinci Si® and Xi® systems), and endovascular surgery. It is important to the specialists at the medical facility to provide each patient with the best therapeutic results with a high degree of safety. The Head Physician of the department is Prof. Dr. med. Jörg Kleeff.
The medical team of the department strives to keep up with the innovations in the world of surgery, so the most modern operations are performed here, which allow to provide effective medical care in complex clinical cases. One of such operations is cytoreductive surgery in combination with hyperthermic intraperitoneal chemotherapy (HIPEC). The method is used to treat peritoneal carcinomatosis, which is a complication of colon cancer, stomach cancer, appendiceal cancer, as well as pseudomyxoma or peritoneal mesothelioma. Surgical treatment consists of two stages: the doctors of the department first perform surgical resection of all visible tumor foci on the peritoneum, and then the HIPEC procedure is performed, during which the abdominal cavity is rinsed with a solution of chemotherapy drugs heated to high temperatures (42℃ and above) for 60-90 minutes. The effect of highly concentrated cytostatics in combination with the hyperthermia effect allows for maximum destruction of cancer cells in the abdominal cavity, which is impossible with classical systemic chemotherapy. Thus, HIPEC ensures the destruction of microscopic tumor foci remaining after resection, which carry a high risk of cancer recurrence. Cytoreductive surgery with HIPEC is an innovative treatment method whose effectiveness is internationally recognized. This treatment requires state-of-the-art equipment and high professional skills of surgeons, therefore it is performed only in the world's best hospitals. It should be noted that the surgeons of the department regularly practice the treatment of peritoneal carcinomatosis with the HIPEC method and demonstrate excellent results in this area.
The department also offers treatment with pressurized intraperitoneal aerosol chemotherapy (PIPAC), a procedure in which chemotherapy drugs are administered into the abdominal cavity in the form of an aerosol under pressure. Indications for PIPAC include peritoneal carcinomatosis due to colorectal, gastric or appendiceal cancers, pseudomyxoma, and peritoneal mesothelioma. Unlike HIPEC, pressurized intraperitoneal aerosol chemotherapy is performed laparoscopically, without the stage of tumor resection surgery. PIPAC can be used as a stand-alone method, in combination with systemic chemotherapy, and as a neoadjuvant treatment prior to cytoreductive surgery with HIPEC. Pressurized intraperitoneal aerosol chemotherapy is performed under general anesthesia and lasts approximately one hour. PIPAC is highly effective, well tolerated, and has virtually no side effects. In addition, PIPAC can be used repeatedly.
The department's team of surgeons is deservedly proud of its unique experience in robotic surgery. Minimally invasive surgery is successfully performed here using the advanced da Vinci Si® and Xi® robotic systems, which allow surgeons to operate on abdominal organs with minimal trauma and high precision; the robotic equipment features the latest generation of three-dimensional optics. When performing surgery, the surgeon controls and commands the robotic system from a control console. The surgeon can view the surgical field in multiple zooms, and the manipulator arms of the da Vinci robot with built-in miniature instruments perform the most complex surgical maneuvers in hard-to-reach areas without damaging nerve endings and blood vessels. The effectiveness of da Vinci operations is comparable to the results of classic open operations, but the robot offers a number of advantages such as minimal blood loss, barely noticeable scars, a short postoperative recovery period, and a low risk of postoperative complications. The department's physicians are highly skilled in robotic surgery for procedures involving the stomach, esophagus, intestines, pancreas, liver, gallbladder, and bile ducts.
An important area of clinical activity of the department is hernia repair surgery. In this field, the medical facility has been awarded the DGH Siegel quality certificate by the German Hernia Society. The department specializes in inguinal and umbilical hernia repair surgery. In most cases, the department's surgeons prefer minimally invasive techniques with the placement of mesh implants. For example, transabdominal preperitoneal hernioplasty (TAPP) or total extraperitoneal hernioplasty (TEP) are successfully performed here to treat inguinal hernias, and intraperitoneal onlay mesh (IPOM) is used to repair umbilical hernias. In complex clinical cases, specialists resort to open surgery such as Lichtenstein or Shouldice hernioplasty procedures.
