Visceral surgery

Visceral-chirurgie

Die Visceralchirurgie befasst sich mit der operativen Therapie von Krankheiten des gesamten Verdauungstraktes. Darüber hinaus werden die Schilddrüse und die Nebenschilddrüsen sowie Leisten-, Narben- oder Nabelbrüche behandelt. Im Jahre 2015 wurde in Österreich der Titel „Facharzt für Chirurgie“ in den Titel „Facharzt für Chirurgie und Viszeralchirurgie“ umgewandelt. Nach meiner Ausbildung zum Facharzt für Chirurgie im Jahre 1995 sowie Facharzt für Gefäßchirurgie im Jahre 1998, habe ich im Jahre 2000 die Ausbildung zum Facharzt für Visceralchirurgie in Deutschland absolviert. Damit verfüge ich über spezielle Expertise in der operativen Behandlung der Erkrankungen inklusive Tumorerkrankungen der oben genanten Organe.
