Colon cancer
Colon cancer is one of the three most common types of cancer in our part of the world. Through regular check-ups, early detection and healing is possible, which in many cases can even prevent cancer.
Diverticular disease of the colon
Diverticula are protrusions of the intestinal wall that occur primarily in the left, lower intestinal area, the so-called sigmoid colon. Treatment options range from conservative, medication-based approaches to surgical procedures.
Gallstones
Gallstones are caused by deposits in the bile and can cause significant problems in the gallbladder.
Reflux disease
Reflux describes the backflow of stomach or bile fluid, which can cause significant damage to the tissue of the esophagus.
Chronic inflammatory bowel disease
This group includes Crohn's disease and ulcerative colitis. Patients are usually treated with medication by their gastroenterologists. However, in the event of complications, the expertise of specialized surgeons is often required.
Liver diseases
The liver is a central organ for the metabolism and breakdown of toxins. Surgical interventions on the liver require specialized expertise. Liver diseases are diverse; Surgical intervention may be necessary, particularly in the case of tumors. The liver's high blood flow allows it to filter and break down toxins, but this also makes it vulnerable to damage from overload or the establishment of metastases. Such procedures are often carried out in a minimally invasive manner.
Pancreatic cancer, chronic inflammation of the pancreas, cysts
Pancreatic cancer is a leading cause of pancreatic surgery and is considered a particularly aggressive type of cancer that must be detected early to improve the chances of survival. Pancreatic resection, also known as Whipple surgery for cancer in the head area of the pancreas, is a complex surgical procedure that aims to remove the diseased part of the pancreas to stop or slow the progression of the disease. This surgery may also include removal of part of the stomach, duodenum, gallbladder, and bile duct.
