About the department
According to the Focus magazine, the Department of General and Abdominal Surgery, Hernia Surgery, Hepatopancreatobiliary Surgery, Colorectal Surgery, Endocrine Surgery, Thoracic Surgery and Bariatric Surgery at the University Hospital Hamburg-Eppendorf is one of the best medical facilities in Germany for colorectal cancer treatment!
The department offers a full range of surgical treatment in its areas of specialization. The department successfully operates on patients with diseases of the digestive tract, hernias, pathologies of the liver and gallbladder, colon and rectum, thyroid gland and parathyroid glands, as well as diseases of the lungs, pleura, and chest wall. The department offers all currently available surgical procedures for the treatment of morbid obesity. Bariatric surgery is performed in the Center of Excellence certified by the German Society for General and Visceral Surgery (DGAV). It should be noted that the department has a reputation as one of the best medical institutions in Germany with enormous experience in the field of pancreatic and esophageal surgery and resection of periampullary tumors. Almost all surgical procedures in the department are performed using minimally invasive and robotic techniques. This treatment provides good results while minimizing postoperative recovery time and eliminating serious surgical risks. The department also provides innovative treatment of peritoneal carcinomatosis using HIPEC, hyperthermic intraperitoneal chemotherapy. The department performs more than 5,100 surgical procedures of varying complexity each year, most of them on an outpatient basis. The Head Physician of the department is Prof. Dr. med. Thilo Hackert.
The department's team of pancreatobiliary surgeons has unparalleled experience in pancreatic surgery. The medical facility is among the leaders in this field of surgery in Germany and abroad. The department performs surgery for pancreatic cancer, pancreatic cysts and pseudocysts, and pancreatitis, including rare forms. The specialists of the department perform more than 250 operations on the pancreas every year. The treatment regimen is developed with the participation of oncologists, gastroenterologists, radiologists, radiation therapists, and other experts. In the postoperative period, patients undergo the ERAS® rehabilitation program, which was specially developed for recovery after complex surgical procedures. The department has a quality certificate from the German Cancer Society (DKG) in the field of pancreatic cancer treatment.
The department successfully performs hernioplasty for all types of abdominal wall hernias: umbilical, inguinal, epigastric, parastomal, and incisional. Minimally invasive and laparoscopic techniques are mainly used for surgical treatment. For patients with recurrent hernias and large hernias, classic open surgery is recommended in certain cases. The surgeons most often perform mesh hernioplasty using TEP, TAPP, MILOS, and IPOM techniques. It should be noted that the specialists of the department are exceptionally qualified to perform surgical procedures for complex recurrences of abdominal wall hernias.
The department's team of surgeons specializes in the treatment of peritoneal carcinomatosis using an innovative method of hyperthermic intraperitoneal chemotherapy (HIPEC). The essence of the treatment is a combination of cytoreductive surgery with chemotherapy, which is administered directly during the surgery. Cytostatics act directly on the tumor during HIPEC, which increases the effectiveness of the therapy. In addition, the chemotherapy drugs are heated to 42-43°C, which ensures maximum destruction of cancer cells. Doctors can thus achieve the death of tumor cells that cannot be detected and removed during surgery. HIPEC treatment is highly effective, slows the progression of the cancer, and significantly increases the patient's life expectancy.
Endocrine surgery focuses on the surgical treatment of thyroid and parathyroid diseases, such as hyperthyroidism (thyroid hyperfunction), thyroid nodules, goiter, thyroid cancer, and parathyroid adenomas. The department's doctors operate on patients with endocrine pathologies using classical surgical techniques with an approach through a neck incision and perform advanced scarless interventions. The optimal type of surgery for the patient is determined depending on the specific diagnosis and the complexity of the clinical case. During thyroidectomy, hemithyroidectomy, and parathyroidectomy (surgical procedures to remove the thyroid and parathyroid glands), doctors use an advanced intraoperative monitoring system that helps avoid damage to the recurrent laryngeal nerve, which ensures proper functioning of the vocal cords. Endocrine surgeons work hand in hand with physicians from related medical specialties, such as endocrinologists, nuclear medicine specialists, radiologists, oncologists, and radiation therapists.
The department also offers colorectal surgery services. The main focus is on the treatment of colorectal cancer, which is performed in a specialized center certified by the German Cancer Society (DKG). The department is one of the few in Germany to perform colorectal cancer surgery using robotic surgical techniques. The da Vinci® robotic system allows for minimally invasive surgical treatment with invisible scars and the fastest possible recovery in the postoperative period. It should be noted that the department's colorectal surgeons successfully perform colorectal tumor resections near the anal sphincter muscles using the da Vinci® techniques. The therapeutic capabilities of the department in the field of colorectal surgery are complemented by the treatment of hemorrhoids, anal fistulas, anal fissures, fecal incontinence, and rectal prolapse.
The department's team of thoracic surgeons performs surgery for lung cancer and lung metastases, tracheal, mediastinal, diaphragmatic, and chest wall tumors, pulmonary emphysema, myasthenia gravis, pleurisy, interstitial lung disease, pneumothorax, and other pathologies. The department's specialists consult patients together with pulmonologists, oncologists, cardiac surgeons, plastic surgeons, and other experts. Surgery to treat thoracic diseases is performed in the department using video-assisted thoracoscopic surgery (VATS). Robotic-assisted thoracoscopic surgery (RATS) and laser surgical techniques are also successfully used here. In addition, the innovative surgical technique Flex-VATS is available in the department, which is used to operate on patients with particularly complex cases of pleural empyema.
Bariatric surgery completes the medical facility's range of services. The department is certified by the German Society for General and Visceral Surgery (DGAV) as a Center of Excellence for Bariatric Surgery. Gastric banding, gastric bypass, sleeve gastrectomy and biliopancreatic diversion with duodenal switch are successfully performed here. The above surgical procedures are performed using minimally invasive techniques, which allows the patient to recover from surgery in the shortest possible time. Bariatric surgery is the last-line treatment for patients with morbid obesity. The decision to perform it is made by a team of doctors consisting of bariatric surgeons, endocrinologists, therapists, and psychologists. The surgery is followed by comprehensive conservative treatment, including diet therapy, physical training, and psychotherapy. During the therapeutic process, the specialists of the department are guided by the recommendations of the German Obesity Society (DAG).

- General and abdominal surgery
