The department's specialists treat more than 1,500 inpatients and 15,000 outpatients every year. Also, the department performs more than 1,000 outpatient and 1,600 inpatient operations annually. Such indicators show the highest quality of medical care and the exceptional competence of medical staff. The department is headed by Prof. Dr. med. Dr. dent. Johannes Kleinheinz.
One of the department’s priority focuses is the surgical treatment of head and neck tumors. This focus is certified by the German Cancer Society. Oncological diseases require a particularly careful approach, so the treatment is carried out in close cooperation with the related physicians, such as oncologists, radiation therapists, experts in the field of nuclear medicine, otolaryngology, etc. The surgeons have in their arsenal all modern operational techniques, including reconstructive measures in order to restore extensive soft and hard tissue defects. The treatment purpose is not only to get rid of cancer, but also to achieve the patient’s overall well-being, as well as an optimal aesthetic appearance and facial muscle movements, especially when speaking and eating. If necessary, the experts in the field of speech therapy, physiotherapy, psycho-oncology, dietetics and social workers are involved in the therapeutic process.

In addition, the department specializes in implantology and dental surgery, for example, surgical tooth extraction, root apex resection.
