Comprehensive support for our patients
A patient suffering from pancreatic disease receives comprehensive support in Heidelberg for the treatment of their disease. The necessary specialists are all on site - diagnostics, perioperative clarification, surgery, postoperative follow-up, as well as nutritional counseling and socio-medical care are discussed and coordinated as an interdisciplinary and interprofessional team - for the benefit of our patients.
- Our highly experienced and world-renowned team of surgeons performs complex pancreas operations of all degrees of difficulty safely and routinely.
- As part of our perioperative care, our nurses not only help with daily needs and physical care, but also provide our patients with support during the difficult phase of coping with the disease and postoperative convalescence through their personal attention and empathy.
- Our colleagues in anesthesiology perform the demanding anesthesia during surgical procedures and support us in perioperative treatment, especially by providing important intensive medical care for our patients.
- Experienced radiologists can diagnose accurately and reliably at an early stage with modern cutting-edge technology, as well as perform targeted interventions.
- Our colleagues in gastroenterology perform the usual, but also complex endoscopic examinations and therapies. Diagnostically, bile and pancreatic ducts are examined and, if necessary, therapeutic interventions are performed.
- Diabetologists support our patients in the adjustment of their diabetes and train them in metabolic management.
- As part of multimodal therapy approaches, we work closely with oncologists and radiation therapists for tumor patients, enabling us to achieve the best possible treatment results for our patients, even in advanced tumor diseases. Intraoperative radiation therapy can also be performed.
- Experienced pain therapists help with severe pain conditions that cannot be influenced by surgery.
- Our colleagues in psycho-oncology help our patients to cope emotionally with their serious illness.
- Physiotherapists and occupational therapists enable our patients to recover physically quickly through daily exercise sessions.
- Nutritionists provide tips on nutrition after pancreatic surgery.
- Our social service helps with the return to daily life or with the organization of follow-up treatment.
- Through patient-oriented clinical studies and basic research, pancreatic diseases are constantly being researched further and treatment sustainably improved. This is always done in close cooperation with other national and international research centers.
- The Department of Pathology ensures the correct diagnosis, including reliable intraoperative frozen section examinations, so that the right decisions can also be made in the operating room.
