About the department
The Department of General and Abdominal Surgery, Hernia Surgery, Endocrine, Hepatopancreatobiliary, Colorectal, Bariatric, Vascular and Pediatric Surgery at the University Hospital Saarland Homburg provides the full range of services in these medical fields. The highly qualified team of the department's surgeons specializes in performing operations of any degree of complexity in the treatment of pathologies of the liver, pancreas, gallbladder, and bile ducts, and diseases of the colon, rectum, and anus, as well as endocrine disorders. The department also performs all modern interventions for vascular pathologies, including aneurysms, carotid stenosis, and intermittent claudication. Patients with morbid obesity can undergo surgical treatment using the most modern and effective techniques. In addition, the medical facility employs experienced pediatric surgeons who provide surgical care to young patients. Operations are performed both on an inpatient and outpatient basis, in accordance with the best recommendations of professional societies. Doctors at the department's state-of-the-art operating rooms perform major interventions, navigation-guided surgery, and minimally invasive surgery to ensure fast recovery of patients.
The department is headed by Prof. Dr. med. Matthias Glanemann, who has performed many successful operations that saved numerous human lives. According to the reputable Focus magazine, the specialist has been ranked among the best surgeons in Germany in the fields of abdominal and hepatobiliary surgery for many years in a row.
The focus of abdominal surgeons is on patients with stomach and esophageal diseases. Doctors successfully perform operations to treat gastritis, stomach ulcers, gastrointestinal bleeding, stomach and esophageal cancer, esophageal diverticula, achalasia cardia, gastroesophageal reflux disease, and other pathologies. The early stages of the disease respond well to drug therapy and endoscopic treatment. The operation may be required for the advanced stages of the pathological process only. For example, gastrointestinal bleeding can often be controlled by endoscopic hemostasis, but if this method is ineffective, surgery is an unavoidable measure. If the cause of the bleeding is a benign disease, doctors treat it locally, but bleeding caused by cancer may require the removal of the entire stomach (gastrectomy). In the case of gastroesophageal reflux disease, drug therapy relieves symptoms and gives a good result, but a patient needs a lifelong intake of medications, so many patients choose surgery (Nissen fundoplication), which allows them to get rid of the pathology once and for all. Most surgical interventions are performed using minimally invasive techniques. The risk of postoperative complications is therefore reduced, and patients recover quickly.
General surgery is responsible for resecting skin and soft tissue tumors, surgery to treat peritonitis, and the implantation of port systems for chemotherapy. The medical facility has rich experience in surgery for soft tissue tumors such as malignant fibrous histiocytoma, liposarcoma, rhabdomyosarcoma, angiosarcoma, and gastrointestinal stromal tumors. In most cases, radical resections are performed, while amputations are extremely rare.
The department's therapeutic offer is complemented by hernia repair surgery. In their clinical practice, doctors most often deal with inguinal, femoral, and incisional hernias. The only available treatment for hernias is a surgical procedure. The specialists from the medical facility use both open surgical techniques and low-traumatic surgery. For example, to treat inguinal hernias, open Lichtenstein and Shouldice procedures can be performed, but laparoscopic surgery, in particular totally extraperitoneal (TEP) and transabdominal preperitoneal (TAPP), is preferred. The attending physician chooses the optimal type of intervention based on the specific clinical case.
The department's team of surgeons admits patients with endocrine disorders, namely diseases of the thyroid gland, parathyroid glands, and adrenal glands. The most common thyroid disorders include goiter, hypothyroidism, hyperthyroidism, thyroiditis, and cancer. In many cases, thyroid disorders can be eliminated by the intake of iodine supplements and hormone replacement therapy. The department's endocrine surgeons perform thyroid surgery only in the absence of any effect from drug therapy. The specialists perform minimally invasive interventions on the thyroid gland under general anesthesia. Depending on the severity of lesions, thyroid gland resection or total removal may be performed. When performing interventions, surgeons use intraoperative neuromonitoring systems to prevent damage to the vocal cords and voice disorders.
In the field of hepatopancreatobiliary surgery, doctors perform surgery to treat liver, gallbladder, bile duct, pancreas, and spleen diseases. The main focus of the department's work is the provision of medical care to patients with benign and malignant liver pathologies. The surgeons have a perfect command of modern techniques for resecting hemangiomas, adenomas, cystadenomas, liver cysts, and abscesses. Doctors have vast experience in treating malignant liver diseases such as hepatocellular carcinoma, cholangiocellular carcinoma, and rare liver neoplasms, including sarcomas, hemangiosarcomas, hepatoblastomas, and cystadenocarcinomas. Many benign liver diseases are amenable to endoscopic treatment, which eliminates the need for open surgery. As for liver cancer, it is almost impossible to do without the resection of a malignant tumor or partial resection of the organ.
The department's colorectal surgeons offer their services to patients with diseases of the small bowel (bowel obstruction, bowel infarction, Crohn's disease, and ulcerative colitis), colon and rectal pathologies (appendicitis, acute gastrointestinal bleeding, diverticular disease, and malignant tumors), and anal diseases (hemorrhoids, anal fistulas, fissures, abscesses, and malignant neoplasms). The specialists most often manage to perform low-traumatic surgical treatments, after which a patient does not require any long-term hospitalization.
The scope of tasks of the department's medical team includes operations to treat morbid obesity. Obesity surgery may be indicated for those patients who cannot get rid of excess weight with the help of diet therapy and physical activity. The department performs such modern minimally invasive interventions as intragastric balloon placement, gastric bypass surgery, gastric banding, and sleeve gastroplasty. The attending physician accurately examines a patient before the operation, assessing his general health condition, the advisability of the operation, and its expected results, after which the optimal type of surgical intervention is prescribed. Despite the fact that bariatric surgery allows patients to quickly get rid of excess weight, they should follow nutrition recommendations and do physical exercise to consolidate the result after surgery.
The department also offers surgical treatment of vascular diseases such as abdominal aortic aneurysms, carotid artery stenosis, intermittent claudication, diabetic foot syndrome, varicose veins, and other pathologies. The department's vascular surgeons cooperate closely with angiologists and specialists in interventional radiology, thanks to which patients can undergo comprehensive diagnostics and effective treatment of vascular diseases of any severity. As for the surgical treatment of vascular lesions, the department's doctors give preference to endovascular and hybrid surgical techniques. The specialists resort to open surgery in complex clinical cases only.
An integral part of the department's clinical practice is the admission of young patients who require surgical treatment. Children of all age groups can have operations performed on them, ranging from newborns to adolescents. Particular attention is paid to the repair of congenital malformations (esophageal and intestinal atresia, gastroschisis, omphalocele, etc.), operations for pectus excavatum and pectus carinatum, repair of inguinal and umbilical hernias, hydrocele, phimosis, and removal of soft tissue tumors. Many interventions are performed on an outpatient basis, that is, without hospitalization. In most cases, pediatric surgeons manage to perform low-traumatic treatment so that the child feels no pain and quickly recovers after surgery.
