Department of Pediatric Surgery
Specialized in: pediatric surgery About the Department of Pediatric Surgery at University Hospital Hamburg-Eppendorf
The Department of Pediatric Surgery at the University Hospital Hamburg-Eppendorf provides a full range of medical services in this specialty. The department operates on young patients with hernias, appendicitis, neck cysts and fistulas, intestinal intussusception, short bowel syndrome, achalasia cardia, gastroesophageal reflux disease, hypospadias, epispadias, congenital lung defects, and other conditions. Of particular interest to the surgical team of the department are surgical interventions for benign and malignant tumors in children, injuries, burns, and rare childhood diseases. The department has the status of a Competence Center for Pediatric Trauma Surgery and is part of the Trauma Network in Hamburg with certification from the German Trauma Society (DGU). Most surgical procedures in children are performed using minimally invasive techniques without large skin and soft tissue incisions. The department's specialists operate on newborns, including premature infants, young children, and adolescents under the age of 18. Surgeons work hand in hand with physicians from other departments at the university hospital, including pediatricians, pediatric oncologists, obstetricians, and trauma surgeons. There are 30 inpatient beds in the department, while minor surgeries are usually performed on an outpatient basis. More than 5,000 surgical procedures are performed in the department's operating rooms each year with excellent results. The medical facility enjoys a reputation as one of the largest and most competent children's clinics in Germany. The Head Physician of the department is Prof. Dr. med. Konrad Reinshagen.
An important specialty of the department is neonatal surgery. More than 3,000 children are born each year in the Department of Obstetrics at the University Hospital Hamburg-Eppendorf. Unfortunately, newborns can have congenital defects and pathologies that require surgical intervention. The specialists in the department have extensive experience in performing operations for diaphragmatic hernia, esophageal, duodenal and small bowel atresia, intestinal duplication, necrotizing enterocolitis, gastroschisis, omphalocele and Hirschsprung's disease. Whenever possible, the department's specialists prefer minimally invasive surgical techniques, which reduce surgical risks and facilitate the child's recovery after surgery.
An integral part of the daily work of the department's team is performing surgery to resect benign and malignant tumors in children, the most common of which are hemangiomas, neuroblastomas, nephroblastomas, hepatoblastomas, soft tissue sarcomas, and germ cell tumors. Young patients with these tumors receive medical care in close collaboration with pediatric oncologists: specialists meet weekly in a tumor board to discuss each clinical case and develop the most effective treatment plan for the child. A child with oncopathology almost always requires surgery to remove the tumor, after which a course of chemotherapy, targeted therapy, radiation therapy, or other treatment modalities may be prescribed.
The department's surgeons are justifiably proud of their excellence in trauma surgery. The doctors treat a wide range of injuries in children: fractures of the upper and lower extremities, complex post-traumatic elbow deformities, osteochondritis dissecans of the elbow, hand injuries with severe damage to tendons, nerve endings and blood vessels, cruciate ligament ruptures, meniscus tears, patella dislocations, congenital and post-traumatic axial deformities of the knee, shoulder instability, post-traumatic ankle cartilage lesions, and ankle instability. In many cases, the department's specialists are able to achieve good results using conservative methods. If a child requires surgery based on clinical indications, it is performed using minimally traumatic arthroscopic techniques. It should be noted that the department's surgeons also specialize in the treatment of fire and steam burns in children, including skin plastic surgery.
