About the department
The Department of Adult and Pediatric Trauma, Hand, Reconstructive Surgery at the University Hospital Jena offers all modern surgical interventions in these medical fields. The department specializes in the treatment of patients with polytrauma, pelvic surgery, endoprosthetics, cancer, reconstructive surgery and hand surgery. The department has 62 beds for inpatient treatment and 3 high-tech operating rooms for both planned and emergency operations. The prestigious certificates of the Interregional Trauma Center of the German Society of Traumatology and the EndoCert certificate testify to the outstanding quality of medical services.The Chief Physician of the department is Prof. Dr. med. Gunther Hofmann.
In addition to the surgical treatment, the department’s arsenal includes conservative treatment methods, for example, drug therapy, physiotherapy and occupational therapy. All of these measures also play a key role in achieving an optimal treatment outcome. After the surgery, during a hospital stay, the patient undergoes an individually developed rehabilitation program aimed at the best possible mobilization. The rehabilitation is indicated for patients after accidents and their complications, as well as after surgical treatment of congenital and acquired pathologies.

Also, the department's surgeons have exceptional experience in the field of revision interventions on the joints, for example, in degenerative processes, infection, etc. The minimally invasive techniques and navigation systems are widely used in joint replacement surgeries, which contributes to sparing treatment and faster recovery of the patient.
Another important focus of the department’s work is hand surgery. In this field, it offers all modern interventions, including microsurgery of the vessels, nerves and tendons, plastic surgery in soft tissue defects. The department's surgeons provide primary and specialized medical care for hand injuries of varying severity. The department has a specialized hand replantation team, which works around the clock. The department also specializes in surgery to treat severe hand injuries and congenital hand defects.

About hospital
According to the prestigious Focus magazine, the University Hospital Jena regularly ranks among the top German medical facilities!
The hospital has positioned itself as a multidisciplinary medical facility with a long history of more than 200 years. Since its foundation, the hospital has been constantly developing and modernizing, thanks to which nowadays it offers patients the highest level of treatment in Germany based on the use of innovative technologies and the very latest therapeutic techniques. The hospital consists of 26 specialized departments and 25 research institutes. It treats more than 53,600 inpatients and about 274,000 outpatients every year. The staff of the hospital includes more than 5,600 competent doctors.
The extensive resources of the university hospital, high treatment standards, and the introduction of new research developments provide first-class treatment in Germany meeting the stringent international standards. The hospital has an excellent reputation not only in Germany, but also far beyond its borders, due to which it accepts a large number of foreign patients for the diagnostics and treatment.
Despite the technical progress and the availability of accurate computerized systems, the patient’s physical health and emotional state is the main value of each employee of the hospital, since some diagnoses cause emotional distress in patients. The doctors of the hospital believe that the key to a successful result is a comprehensive and individual approach, so they spend a lot of time talking with patients, listen carefully to all their wishes and support at all stages of the therapeutic process. All this in combination with high-precision diagnostic techniques and the very latest types of therapy forms a solid basis for the achievement of an optimal treatment result.
