About the department
The Department of Gastroenterology, Hepatology and Infectology at the University Hospital Hamburg-Eppendorf provides a full range of diagnostic and therapeutic services in its specialties. The team of doctors of the medical facility treats diseases of the stomach, esophagus, intestines, pancreas, liver, gallbladder, and biliary tract. Of special interest is the treatment of oncological diseases of the gastrointestinal tract and liver. Patients with acute and chronic infectious diseases, including tropical infections, can also receive qualified medical care here. The specialists of the department prefer comprehensive medical care, therefore in complex clinical cases general and abdominal surgeons, hepatopancreatobiliary surgeons, transplant surgeons, oncologists, radiotherapists, radiologists, and other physicians of related specialties are involved in the therapeutic process. Treatment includes personalized drug and diet therapy, endoscopic procedures, and minilaparoscopy. It is worth noting that the department is the first medical institution in Northern Germany to perform liver elastography using the innovative FibroScan method. The medical team of the department ensures that each patient receives the most effective and at the same time sparing treatment in accordance with individual needs. The Head Physician of the department is Prof. Dr. med. Ansgar Lohse.
The treatment of chronic inflammatory bowel diseases (Crohn's disease and ulcerative colitis) is one of the most important areas of daily work for gastroenterologists in the department. Crohn's disease can affect all organs of the gastrointestinal tract, while ulcerative colitis is an inflammatory process limited to the colon. The first-line treatment for inflammatory bowel disease is drug therapy in accordance with international clinical recommendations and diet therapy with the exclusion from the diet of fatty meats, poultry and fish, smoked foods, fatty and hot sauces, sweets, etc. In some cases, an endoscopic procedure may be required, such as bougienage for stenosis caused by intestinal inflammation.
The doctors at the medical facility specialize in the treatment of acute and chronic pancreatitis, an inflammation of the pancreas. Acute pancreatitis is a potentially life-threatening disease, so its treatment is carried out in the hospital under close medical supervision. The patient is prescribed symptomatic treatment, a strict diet, and infusion therapy. If pancreatitis is complicated by gallstone disease, endoscopic retrograde cholangiopancreatography may be required. Chronic pancreatitis is a long-term inflammatory disease characterized by pathological changes in the structure of the organ and dysfunction. In 80% of cases, chronic pancreatitis develops as a result of alcohol abuse. Chronic pancreatitis is treated with drug therapy and a diet high in protein, limiting fatty and spicy foods, sour and carbonated drinks.
The department treats a wide range of benign liver and gallbladder diseases, such as autoimmune hepatitis, hepatitis A, B, C, and E, primary sclerosing cholangitis, primary biliary cholangitis, alcoholic and non-alcoholic steatohepatitis, and others. In collaboration with surgeons, oncologists, radiation therapists, and interventional radiologists, the department's hepatologists offer all modern methods for the treatment of malignant liver tumors, with special emphasis on the treatment of hepatocellular carcinoma and cholangiocarcinoma. Hepatocellular carcinoma (HCC) is the most common type of liver cancer. The treatment tactics for this oncopathology depend on its stage: in the early stages, the tumor can be removed with microwave ablation or radiofrequency ablation, and in more complex clinical cases, surgical resection of the malignancy is required. Thanks to the collaboration of hepatologists with radiation therapists and radiologists, the department offers treatment with innovative methods of transarterial chemoembolization (TACE) and/or selective internal radiation therapy (SIRT). The department's hepatologists are also responsible for the medical care of patients before and after liver transplantation.
The department's range of medical services includes the following options:
- Diagnostics and treatment of chronic inflammatory bowel disease
- Diagnostics and treatment of Crohn's disease
- Diagnostics and treatment of ulcerative colitis
- Diagnostics and treatment of pancreatic diseases
