Department of Cardiac Surgery
Specialized in: cardiac surgery About the Department of Cardiac Surgery at University Hospital Oldenburg
According to the Focus magazine, the Department of Cardiac Surgery at the University Hospital Oldenburg ranks among the top German medical facilities specializing in the surgical treatment of diseases of the cardiovascular system!
The department offers the full range of services in this medical field. Many heart surgeries are performed using minimally invasive technique, which has a positive effect on the healing of an operative wound. The patient also experiences less pain and the hospitalization period is significantly reduced. Thanks to long experience of doctors and modern equipment, the department provides excellent results in the treatment of heart pathologies. The department is headed by Prof. Dr. med. Oliver Dewald.
The department's surgeons have excellent qualifications in the field of surgical treatment of heart valve diseases. In most cases, either total or partial removal of the affected valve with the implantation of a biological or synthetic artificial valve is required. The department also specializes in reconstructive surgery, in which surgeons set themselves the purpose to preserve the patient's own heart valve. If the patient needs either heart valve reconstruction or replacement, the department's experienced doctors consider each clinical case individually and select the optimal surgical technique.
The department's specialists also have rich experience in the treatment of heart rhythm disturbances. When diagnosing and treating pathologies of this spectrum, there is maintained close cooperation with cardiologists and experts in electrophysiology. The surgical treatment of arrhythmias includes such options as the implantation of a pacemaker, event recorder, defibrillator. In this field, the department's cardiac surgeons perform about 800 - 1000 interventions annually, which indicates the high professionalism and treatment success.
