Internal medicine

Internal medicine is one of the most complex fields of general medicine, in which, in addition to treatment, prevention is also playing an increasingly important role. The internal medicine specialist mainly deals with pathological changes and dysfunctions of the internal organs and organ systems. Many disciplines are based on internal medicine, such as: diabetology for diabetes, gastroenterology for the digestive system, endocrinology for hormone function, nephrology for kidney disease, cardiology for cardiovascular disease, pulmonology for the respiratory system and hematology for dealing with blood disorders.The internal medicine specialist coordinates these disciplines when treating the patient. This role is comparable to that of a general practitioner, as it may either cure only one acute illness or play a caring role for years in the treatment of chronic diseases.

Permanent hair removal

Laser hair removal is the ultimate solution for removing both lighter brown and dark body hair, even from delicate areas. During permanent hair removal treatment, the diode laser targets the laser light to the surface to be treated, which is absorbed by the hair follicle. Dark, strong hair no longer grows from the disabled hair follicle, at most only fluff appears.

Ophthalmology

Ophthalmology is a medical specialty that deals with the structure, function and diseases of the eye. Ophthalmology investigates and treats refraction defects of the eye and diseases of the eyeball. Early detection of many eye diseases is of paramount importance: small corrections and medication can prevent symptoms from becoming more severe, which may result in more serious visual impairment or require more drastic intervention in the future.

Loop conization of the cervix

Loop conization, also known as a cone biopsy, is a special cervical surgery that can be used for both therapeutic and diagnostic purposes. During the procedure, a persistent cervical wound that does not heal with conservative treatment and causes inflammatory vaginal complaints is repaired for therapeutic purposes. High-risk HPV infection or abnormal cytological results may also indicate surgery, in which case the procedure also serves diagnostic purposes. In this case, the affected area of the cervix is removed and sent for histological examination to accurately determine the condition of the cells. The histological result determines whether further treatment is necessary or whether surgery alone is sufficient to solve the problem.

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.

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?
