About the department
The Department of General and Abdominal Surgery, Hepatopancreatobiliary Surgery, Colorectal Surgery, Endocrine Surgery, Hernia Surgery and Bariatric Surgery at the University Hospital Ulm offers the full range of effective surgical treatments in accordance with modern medical standards. Operations of varying complexity are performed on the stomach, colon, pancreas, liver, gallbladder, bile ducts, rectum, thyroid gland, and parathyroid glands in the department's operating rooms every day. The department's primary focus is the surgical treatment of malignant gastrointestinal tumors. The medical facility is certified in this area by the German Cancer Society (DKG). The team of endocrine surgeons specializes in the treatment of diseases of the thyroid gland, parathyroid glands, and adrenal glands. Patients with morbid obesity are also successfully operated on here. In their work, the department’s specialists primarily use minimally invasive surgical techniques, which virtually eliminate trauma to healthy tissue during the intervention. The department's operating suite is equipped with an innovative da Vinci Surgical System, which allows the doctors to perform sparing and high-precision surgical interventions. The specialists of the medical facility strictly adhere to hygiene and safety standards and create the most comfortable conditions for each patient during their hospital stays. The department is headed by Prof. Dr. med. Nuh Rahbari.
The department regularly demonstrates high success rates in cancer treatment. Colon cancer is one of the most common and life-threatening oncologic diseases worldwide. The department is part of a highly specialized Colon Cancer Center certified according to ISO 9001:2008 and the German Cancer Society (DKG) standards. These certifications confirm the high competence of the center in the area of its specialization. The department's surgeons operate on patients with colon cancer almost every day. In the early stages of cancer, abdominal surgeons usually manage to perform a curative surgical procedure. As a rule, the specialists perform en bloc resection, during which the malignant tumor and the tissues affected by the oncological process are removed. Single metastases in the liver or other organs are also often removed during curative surgery (ablative techniques such as radiofrequency ablation or laser-induced heat therapy may be used if clinically indicated). This approach improves the patient's prognosis. In advanced stages of cancer, palliative surgery usually becomes an option of choice. It is aimed at increasing life expectancy and ensuring a high quality of life, rather than a cure. Colon cancer surgery is most often performed in the department using minimally invasive techniques. In addition to surgery, chemotherapy and/or radiation therapy are also included in the treatment regimen. In cases of stenosis of certain parts of the colon, surgeons perform endoscopic procedures in cooperation with gastroenterologists. These include dilatation with subsequent stent implantation, argon plasma coagulation, cryotherapy, or laser therapy.
The department's endocrine surgeons are responsible for performing operations on the thyroid gland, parathyroid glands, and adrenal glands. More than 200 such interventions are performed here annually. The diagnostics and development of treatment regimens are carried out in close cooperation with endocrinologists and nuclear medicine specialists. Minimally invasive surgical techniques are used during the operations, so recovery in the postoperative period takes only a few days. In addition, doctors use the very latest neuromonitoring system during thyroid and parathyroid surgery to prevent damage to the recurrent laryngeal nerve (damage to this nerve may cause severe voice disorders). It is noteworthy that the department's endocrine surgeons are members of the German Working Group on Endocrine Surgery, so they take an active part in promising research projects and actively implement the latest developments into their clinical practice.
In the field of hepatopancreatobiliary surgery, the department offers surgical treatment for diseases of the pancreas, liver, gallbladder, and bile ducts. Surgeons perform operations both for benign pathologies (pancreatitis, cholecystitis, benign liver tumors, etc.) and malignant diseases (pancreatic cancer, liver cancer, and gallbladder cancer). In cases of localized malignant hepatopancreatobiliary tumors, surgery for total removal of the neoplasm is performed, while advanced stages of cancer may require extended resection. The department's surgeons also specialize in the removal of liver metastases using radiofrequency thermal ablation.
The department's range of medical services is complemented by hernia repair surgery. A hernia is a pathological protrusion of the internal organs from one cavity into another or outside the body through natural openings. The department primarily operates on patients with inguinal, umbilical, and incisional hernias. The "gold standard" of surgical treatment for hernias is hernia repair with a mesh implant. The intervention is performed through a minimally invasive approach, so the surgeon makes several punctures in the abdominal wall instead of a traumatic incision. The specialist inserts surgical instruments and a laparoscope with a built-in miniature video camera through the punctures. After returning the organs to their normal anatomical position, a mesh implant is placed to reinforce the hernial orifices.
The medical facility also admits patients with morbid obesity (body mass index over 40 kg/m2). In the case of this pathology, it is quite difficult to get rid of excess weight through diet, physical exercises, and drug therapy, so bariatric surgeons offer their patients sparing interventions aimed at reducing the stomach volume. They also perform combined surgery to remove parts of the stomach and small intestine. Gastric banding, sleeve gastroplasty, gastric bypass, and intragastric balloon placement are particularly popular procedures in the department. Following the operation, patients work with nutritionists, sports trainers, and psychologists because maintaining the prescribed diet, regular physical activity, and behavioral therapy are crucial for consolidating the results. The main task of the specialists is to help the patient achieve the desired weight, improve their general health condition, and improve their quality of life.
