Prof. Dr. med. Roland Ladurner

Prof. Dr. med. Roland Ladurner is a distinguished surgeon specializing in general, visceral, and thoracic surgery, with particular expertise in endocrine surgery and minimally invasive surgical techniques. He is currently chief doctor of the clinic for general, visceral, and thoracic surgery at Martha-Maria Hospital in Munich, Germany, where he also serves as Medical Director. His approach combines broad surgical expertise with a particular focus on complex diseases of the endocrine glands and abdominal organs. A central area of his practice is endocrine surgery, especially the surgical treatment of thyroid and parathyroid disorders. His expertise includes thyroid nodules, goiter, thyroid cancer, parathyroid adenomas and hyperparathyroidism, as well as adrenal gland tumors. He is also experienced in minimally invasive procedures for selected endocrine conditions, including laparoscopic adrenal surgery and radiofrequency ablation of benign thyroid nodules. His background in optical coherence tomography and parathyroid tissue diagnostics further complements his specialist knowledge of endocrine disorders. Beyond endocrine surgery, the specialist treats a wide range of conditions requiring general and visceral surgical intervention. These include diseases of the stomach, intestines, gallbladder, liver and pancreas, as well as abdominal wall defects and hernias. His thoracic surgical expertise also includes selected lung and chest diseases. He applies laparoscopic and thoracoscopic techniques whenever clinically appropriate, aiming to minimize surgical trauma while maintaining effective treatment. He focuses on selecting the appropriate surgical approach based on the underlying condition, its complexity, and each patient's individual needs. By combining conventional surgical methods with minimally invasive and organ-focused techniques, he provides comprehensive treatment options for patients with both common and complex surgical conditions. At Martha-Maria Hospital Munich, Prof. Ladurner leads a multidisciplinary surgical department covering general, visceral, and thoracic surgery. His clinical and academic background, particularly in endocrine surgery, makes him a relevant specialist for patients seeking surgical treatment of thyroid, parathyroid, and adrenal disorders, as well as other complex abdominal and thoracic conditions.
