The most common benign pathologies treated in the department include gastritis, gastroesophageal reflux disease, eosinophilic esophagitis, intestinal and esophageal motility disorders, celiac disease and others. At the same time, doctors pay due attention to the patients with suspected cancer of the digestive system. The specialists in this field conduct the full range of diagnostic tests to confirm or exclude cancer diagnosis, prescribe drug therapy for malignant tumors, and also carry out control examinations to assess the results of the therapeutic measures performed. Doctors cooperate closely with oncologists, radiation therapists, surgeons, thereby guaranteeing patients comprehensive medical care.
An equally important area of work of the department's doctors is the diagnostics and treatment of liver diseases. The focus of doctors specializing in these pathologies is on the patients with chronic viral and inflammatory liver diseases, metabolic and autoimmune pathologies of the liver and biliary tract, as well as cirrhosis. In most cases, drug therapy is indicated to such patients. It is prescribed based on the specific clinical case.
The department is quite often visited by patients with endocrine disorders: pathologies of the thyroid and parathyroid glands, adrenal glands, pituitary gland and hypothalamus, testicles and ovaries. In addition, the team of the department's doctors specializes in the treatment of diabetes mellitus (types 1 and 2, gestational diabetes mellitus), hyperlipidemia, bone metabolism disorders and neuroendocrine tumors. The specialists of the medical facility carry out drug therapy of the above mentioned pathologies, and if necessary, endocrine surgeons are involved in the therapeutic process. The patients with diabetes mellitus receive pharmacotherapy with hypoglycemic drugs, insulin therapy, including with the use of an insulin pump.
The range of services provided in the department is complemented by therapy for infectious diseases, including HIV, sexually transmitted diseases, echinococcosis, hepatitis B and C, tropical infections, and other infectious diseases. The department conducts all laboratory tests required for making an accurate diagnosis, after which doctors prescribe the optimal course of treatment.

The University Hospital Rechts der Isar Munich was founded in 1834. It combines long traditions with the very latest advances in modern medicine. The medical facility includes 33 specialized departments and 20 interdisciplinary centers, where patients can receive top-class medical care in all medical fields.
The hospital annually admits more than 65,000 inpatients for diagnostics and treatment, and about 250,000 outpatients receive effective medical care. The hospital also performs more than 40,000 surgical procedures every year, and about 2,100 babies are born here annually. One of the most significant achievements of the medical facility can be called the first transplantation of both arms above the elbow performed in 2008. The surgery that lasted 15 hours, and in which 40 doctors of various medical specialties took part, became a real sensation in the scientific world. Thanks to a unique surgical procedure, the doctors managed to give the patient new hands.
In addition, the employees of the hospital are actively involved in research activities, in which they study various diseases, as well as develop new therapeutic options for their treatment. It should be noted that the research institutes of the hospital are among the most reputable research organizations in the world.
