About the clinic
Resection of the large intestine at the Medical Center in Solingen, Germany, provides advanced surgical care for bowel cancer and diverticular disease. This DKG-certified center uses the DaVinci Xi robotic system to perform precise, minimally invasive procedures. Patients benefit from the expertise of top German specialists at a facility affiliated with the University of Cologne.
Advanced Surgical Methods
The clinic offers three main approaches for colon resection. Surgeons choose the method based on the patient's condition and tumor location:
- Robot-assisted surgery using the DaVinci Xi system for high precision and smaller incisions.
- Minimally invasive (laparoscopic) surgery to help speed up recovery times.
- Open surgery for complex cases that require a traditional approach.
Robotic surgery helps reduce the length of hospital stays. It also leads to less pain after the operation. The team uses endoscopic tools and neuronavigation to help guide every step of the procedure.
Expert Surgical Team
Prof. Dr. Peter Schenker leads the Institute of Surgery. He previously served as a top doctor at the University Hospital Bochum for over 20 years. Prof. Dr. Schenker specializes in gastrointestinal oncology and is expanding the use of robotic surgery at the clinic.
Prof. Dr. Boris Pfaffenbach heads the Gastroenterology and Gastrointestinal Cancer Center. He has over 35 years of experience in internal medicine. Prof. Dr. Pfaffenbach has overseen 9,000+ gastrointestinal interventions. He holds certification from the German Cancer Society and serves as a professor at Ruhr-University Bochum.
Certified Cancer Care
The facility is a certified center for bowel cancer. This DKG (German Cancer Society) certification means the clinic meets strict quality and safety standards. As an Academic Hospital of the University of Cologne, it uses the latest research for patient care. Every oncology case is reviewed by weekly interdisciplinary tumor boards. These boards include specialists from different fields to plan the best follow-up care. Post-operative support may include pain management, chemotherapy, or radiotherapy depending on the diagnosis.
Diagnostics and Preparation
Before surgery, patients undergo thorough testing to create a treatment plan. This includes blood tests and endoscopic diagnostics to locate the problem area. In some cancer cases, doctors may recommend chemotherapy before the operation. This helps shrink the tumor to make the surgery safer and more effective.
