Arthroscopic knee operations

The knee is at daily risk of wear and tear, overuse and accidents. Arthroscopic surgery is the state-of-the-art procedure for treating a variety of problems, with the advantage that instead of making large incisions, only two or three small incisions are made during the procedure. As a result, rehabilitation time is shorter, postoperative pain is reduced more quickly, and quality of life improves faster. Which knee conditions can arthroscopic surgery be a solution for? How does the procedure work? Find out more about the surgery options here.

Ultrasound Examinations

Ultrasound is in the domain of sound waves of a certain wavelength inaudible for human ears. The examination is harmless to the body and may be repeated without causing any side effects, thus widely used in diagnostics.

Liposuction

Liposuction is a surgical procedure for removing fatty deposits. Unlike with weight loss, whereby the number of fat cells remains unchanged and only their volume decreases, liposuction permanently removes some of the fat cells.

Bunion surgery

A bunion (hallux valgus) is one of the most common orthopedic deformities of the forefoot, affecting the big toe and the metatarsophalangeal (MTP) joint where the toe connects to the foot. With this joint deformity, the first metatarsal bone moves toward the body’s median line, and the big toe moves inwards towards the other toes, which may be accompanied by painful swelling or a bony growth on the inner edge of the foot. Depending on the bunion’s severity, complaints can range from a purely aesthetic problem to serious pain, difficulty wearing shoes, or compression and deformation of the adjacent toes. Statistically, this deformity occurs much more often in women than in men. In some cases, bunions can be treated with non-surgical methods and conservative treatment - e.g., special insoles, physiotherapy or pain relief - but in advanced stages, surgery is often the only permanent solution.

Hernia operations

A hernia is when an internal organ is dislocated from its normal anatomical position or cavity through a congenital or acquired opening. Hernias most commonly affect the abdominal wall.The development of a hernia may be asymptomatic or may be accompanied by a heavy, pulling or dull ache, together with a bulging in the affected area. The bulge size may vary. The hernia contents can usually be reinserted into the abdominal cavity through the hernia gate. However, without treatment, there is a risk of hernia exclusion.During an exclusion of the hernia, the contents forming the hernia cannot return to the abdominal cavity, which can damage the blood supply to the excluded intestinal segment, creating an emergency with the risk of life-threatening intestinal necrosis, which can only be treated with urgent surgery.

Dermatology

Dermatology is the branch of medicine that deals with the symptoms, pathology and cure of skin diseases. Because of the symptoms, dermatology often interacts with related professions such as internal medicine, allergology / immunology, pathology (histology), microbiology (bacteriology, virology, mycology), and specialized laboratory diagnostics.The dermatologist’s responsibilities include treating conditions relating to the skin, nails, hair, oral mucosa and external genitalia, as well as a number of venereal diseases. An important area of ​​dermatology is the screening of skin cancer and the differentiation of benign (non-cancerous) skin conditions. Annual screening of moles is recommended even when they cause no complaint, as the timely detection of skin cancers - including the most serious type, malignant melanoma - can save lives.
