About the department
The Department of General and Abdominal Surgery, Hernia Surgery, Hepatopancreatobiliary Surgery, Colorectal Surgery, Thoracic Surgery, Endocrine Surgery and Bariatric Surgery at the University Hospital Oldenburg offers a full range of surgical treatments for diseases of the intestine, stomach, esophagus, pancreas, liver, gallbladder, bile ducts, rectum, anus, thyroid gland, parathyroid glands, and adrenal glands. The department's surgeons are also skilled in inguinal, umbilical, femoral, and incisional hernia repair. An integral part of the department's daily clinical practice is the surgical treatment of diseases of organs in the chest: lung cancer, mediastinal tumors, chest wall tumors, pulmonary emphysema, myasthenia gravis, and pneumothorax. The medical facility also successfully performs bariatric surgery for morbid obesity. The department is part of the Robotic Surgery Center, which performs operations on the small intestine, rectum, stomach, and pancreas, as well as bariatric surgery using the innovative da Vinci robotic system. The department has been awarded the quality certificate by the German Cancer Society (DKG), which indicates outstanding success in the treatment of oncological diseases. Most surgical interventions are performed through a minimally invasive approach with minimal risks. The department's surgeons annually perform over 3,000 operations of varying complexity in inpatient and outpatient settings. The Head Physician of the department is Prof. Dr. med. Maximilian Bockhorn.
One of the main focuses of the department's surgeons is the treatment of malignant tumors of the small intestine, colon, and rectum. The specialists mainly treat colorectal cancer. A successful outcome requires a multidisciplinary approach, which is why gastroenterologists, oncologists, and radiotherapists are involved in the therapeutic process. At the diagnostic stage, the patient undergoes colonoscopy with biopsy and histologic examination of the biopsy material, followed by CT and/or MRI for treatment planning. A treatment plan for a patient with colorectal cancer is developed in an interdisciplinary tumor board, where physicians study the diagnostic data and select the most effective set of therapeutic measures. The surgeons of the department are responsible for the resection of a malignant tumor (in advanced stages, resection of the affected portion of the intestine with subsequent anastomosis may be necessary). The department performs surgical procedures for colorectal cancer using minimally invasive techniques. If clinically indicated, surgery can also be performed using the da Vinci robotic device.
The department's team of surgeons has excellent expertise in the surgical treatment of inflammatory bowel disease (IBD): Crohn's disease and ulcerative colitis. Each of these pathologies is potentially life-threatening and usually begins at a young age. Gastroenterologists are responsible for examining a patient with suspected Crohn's disease or ulcerative colitis. The specialists perform endoscopic examinations, imaging diagnostics, and laboratory tests. The first-line treatment is pharmacotherapy to relieve symptoms and prevent progression of the disease. In some cases, surgery may be necessary, such as for serious complications like intestinal perforation, recurrent gastrointestinal bleeding, or acute megacolon that does not respond to drug treatment. Surgery for IBD may also be indicated if drug treatment is ineffective or if a malignant process develops. Surgery for Crohn's disease and ulcerative colitis is performed using minimally invasive techniques with an emphasis on preserving bowel control.
In the field of hepatopancreatobiliary surgery, the department offers a full range of modern surgical procedures for diseases of the liver, gallbladder, and bile ducts. The most popular procedure is cholecystectomy, which is the removal of the gallbladder. This type of surgery is indicated for cholelithiasis, cholecystitis, and gallbladder tumors. Cholecystectomy is performed using minimally invasive techniques. The department's team of hepatopancreatobiliary surgeons are also competent in performing extensive liver surgery using minimally invasive techniques. The most common conditions requiring liver surgery are malignant liver tumors and metastases from tumors elsewhere. During surgery, the department's specialists use ICG fluorescence, which allows for maximum accuracy in identifying and removing pathological foci in the liver.
The department also provides thoracic surgery services. Specialists in this area operate on patients with diseases of the organs in the chest, with the exception of the heart. Of particular clinical interest are operations for lung cancer, mediastinal tumors, chest wall tumors, pulmonary emphysema, myasthenia, pneumothorax, and other pathologies. The department's thoracic surgeons primarily use video-assisted thoracoscopic surgery (VATS) techniques: 2-3 miniature skin incisions are made for a surgical approach, through which special thin instruments and a tiny video camera are inserted, transmitting images of the surgical field to the monitor.
The department also offers bariatric surgery to its patients. Bariatric surgery is used to help patients with morbid obesity lose weight when diet and exercise have not produced the desired results for 6 months or longer. An absolute indication for bariatric surgery is a body mass index of 50 kg/m², as the chances of losing weight with standard methods are minimal in this case. Gastric bypass and sleeve gastroplasty are the most popular bariatric procedures performed in the department. The optimal surgical procedure for each patient is determined based on body mass index, age, presence of comorbidities, individual preferences, and other factors. Bariatric surgery is performed using minimally invasive surgical techniques, so recovery in the postoperative period is extremely fast. After the surgery, qualified nutritionists, trainers, psychologists, and other specialists work with the patient, whose task is to develop a personalized diet, a set of physical exercises, and a drug treatment regimen to consolidate the results of the surgery.
The department's range of surgical services includes the following:
- General and abdominal surgery
