The surgical treatment of diseases of the esophagus and stomach - especially oncological diseases (cancers) - has been an important focus of our clinic for many years.  Due to the close cooperation with other departments, it is possible to provide patients with a rapid extended diagnosis and to offer appropriate interdisciplinary therapy concepts.

The surgical treatment of diseases of the esophagus and stomach - especially oncological diseases (cancers) - has been an important focus of our clinic for many years.  Due to the close cooperation with other departments, it is possible to provide patients with a rapid extended diagnosis and to offer appropriate interdisciplinary therapy concepts.

With the help of our consultation hour "Upper Gastrointestinal Tract - OGIT" we would like to provide you with a direct contact person to whom all patients with gastroesophageal diseases can present themselves. The consultation hour is an interface between our clinic and the physicians in private practice. In addition to advanced diagnostics and prompt surgical care, we would also like to be available at all times as a contact partner for possible issues further down the line.
