Department of general, abdominal, hernia, and minimally invasive surgery with proctology

The department of general, abdominal, hernia, and minimally invasive surgery with proctology at Minimally Invasive Center Hunfeld offers a full range of services in diagnosing and treating diseases which require surgical treatments. Doctors are highly professional in performing minimally invasive surgical interventions. The patient has several advantages to this technique: small scars after the procedure, less blood loss, almost no pain, and a quick recovery. Experienced department specialists perform most interventions on an outpatient basis, which allows the patient to leave the clinic after a few hours. The department has permission from the Hessian State Medical Association for specialist doctors to train as proctologists, so doctors from all over the country can receive additional specialization at the centre.

One of the department's main activities is the differential diagnosis and outpatient and inpatient treatment of inguinal, abdominal and umbilical hernias. In addition, much attention is paid to proctological diseases, such as anal fistulas or fissures, haemorrhoids and rectal vein thrombosis. Highly specialized doctors determine whether an operation is necessary and which technique is best for each clinical case. In addition, the medical team, together with the nurses, provides postoperative care.
