To provide comprehensive and optimal treatment, the department's specialists maintain close cooperation with other departments of the hospital, for example, with the Departments of Surgery, Hematology and Oncology, Radiology and Interventional Therapy. Each patient receives an individually developed treatment plan with due consideration of his/her specific clinical picture.

The therapeutic options in the field of gastroenterology include drug therapy and surgery (in most cases, minimally invasive operations), for example strictureplasty (dilatation of intestinal stricture by dissection), removal of some parts of the intestine, proctocolectomy, colectomy, etc.
