Council of physicians

 

Types of cancer therapy in Asklepios Barmbek

  • Chemotherapy is the medication treatment of cancer. Undergoing chemotherapy, patients take pills or droppers. Such drugs effectively destroy malignant tissues, but also affect healthy ones — hair follicles, mucous membranes, and hematopoietic cells. This can cause such side effects as hair loss and discomfort in the gastrointestinal tract. Oncologists of Asklepios Barmbek select chemotherapy individually for each patient to reduce the occurrence of side effects.
  • Target therapy is a modern drug treatment method. Target drugs affect precisely malignant cells, without damaging the healthy ones. That’s why side effects occur less frequently than after chemotherapy. Doctors prescribe targeted drugs for the treatment of breast and prostate cancer, melanoma, lymphoma, multiple myeloma.
  • Multimodal therapy is a chemotherapy in combination with the surgery and/or radiotherapy. Oncologists apply this method to treat colon, pancreas, esophagus, stomach, lungs and breast cancers.
  • Interventional oncology is a local effect on the tumor. Doctors use a catheter or needle to inject the drug directly into the vessels leading to cancer. Doctors destroy some neoplasms with the help of ultrasound, the source of which is fixed on the end of the needle. This allows accurately affecting the malignant cells without damaging the healthy ones. The method is used for the therapy of liver, large intestine, stomach, esophagus, breast cancers.

SURGERY DEPARTMENT

Doctors of the Department specialize in the surgical treatment of benign and malignant tumors.

 

Endoscopic operations through the body openings 

Doctors perform endoscopic procedures to remove tumors and polyps in the gastrointestinal tract. The operations are minimally invasive, they are performed through the anus or esophagus. Due to the absence of incisions, a patient does not feel severe pain after the procedure. The recovery period takes 1-3 days.

 

Laparoscopic interventions through 1-3 cm punctures 

Most of the operations at Asklepios Barmbek are laparoscopic. They are performed through small punctures up to 3 cm. Doctors use thin tools and a mini camera to remove the tumor accurately and not damage the surrounding tissues. Surgeons apply laparoscopy to remove hernias, neoplasms in the stomach and urogenital system.

 

VATS is the gold standard for lung cancer surgery 

VATS is a video-assisted thoracoscopic surgery. Doctors remove the tumor through 1-2 punctures. It allows conducting the operation without the sternum opening. Surgeons watch the whole operation process on the monitor. It increases the accuracy of the procedure. VATS is prescribed in the early stages of lung cancer when the tumor does not spread beyond the organ.

Notaufnahme 12 Std.gewartet und durchweg unmotiviertes, unfreundliches Personal welches überhaupt keine Einfühlsamkeit zeigt. Der Job muss doch sowieso gemacht werden, warum nicht freundlich und mitfühlend? Auch dem Mitarbeiter würde es sicherlich dann am Ende des Tages besser gehen!Wo soll das bloß hinführen?

AWFUL!! I arrived at the Emergency Room around 22:45 in the evening. Although I was taken in quite quickly, the nurses and doctor show no empathy or compassion while treating you. The callous nurse hit a nerve while trying to give me the medicine in my (good) vein. It hurt so much I screamed and cried so she took it out and tried on the other side where there was absolutely no problem. I find it terrible that one is treated without compassion and NOT informed about what they are doing with you. I had to ask every time they put a needle in me to find out exactly what they were pumping into me (I had a bad allergic reaction and had a horrible red itchy rash all over my body). A good nurse/doctor always explains what and why they are doing a particular procedure and carry it out with accuracy and compassion. I was totally conherent so no reason they couldn't have VOLUNTEERED the information!!!! I was on a bed in the VERY noisy hallway for 5 hours (11pm to 4 am). No one ever bothered to give me water, take my boots or glasses off and I had to ask for a blanket. Will never go there again!!! From the mixed reviews here it seems the only thing they do well is deliver babies but one should never go their emergency room!

Das schlimmste Krankenhaus wo wir je waren.. Absolut unterbesetztes und überfordertes Personal.. Nach drücken des Notfall knopfes 45 min warten bis jemand kommt, die Schwester 10 mal um hörtest bitten.. Keine pda trotz Vereinbarung.. Und und und.. Also für Geburten absolut nicht zu empfehlen.. Vor 3 Jahren im uke das komplette Gegenteil erlebt..Da merkt man was vom Staat ist und was privat..

Ich war 2 mal mit einer Lungenentzündung in Barmbek das Personal aus der Pflege sehr bemüht aber völlig überfordert die Ärzte sehr arrogant nach dem Motto fragen sie nicht so viel in der Notaufnahme war man sehr bemüht trotz voller Flure alles in allem wurde ich dort gut behandelt allerdings die Hygiene ist katastrophal die WC und Sanitären Anlagen schlimm wie auf dem Bagnhof

Nach 7 Stunden warten im Warteraum der Notaufnahme und 6 maligen Nachfragen wurde mein Mann mit Schmerzen dann mal endlich aufgerufen.Es ist ein Unding wie da mit Menschen umgegangen wird die nicht grundlos nach einem Arbeitsunfall sind in die nataufnahme sich begeben. Nicht nur das er vergessen wurde und da muss ich noch dazu sagen das wir nicht die einzigen waren , sondern die Ärztin die sich dem ganzen dann noch angenommen hatte ihm mitteile ,,ich habe jetzt keine Zeit mehr gehen sie am Montag zum Arzt ohne Schmerzmittel oder vernümpftige Behandlung die bis zum Ende

Hallo!Meine Frau hat per Kaiserschnitt entbunden. Das OP Team im Kreißsaal war sehr nett und hat auf Fragen mit sehr viel Geduld geantwortet. Und da hört es auch auf mit der Freundlichkeit! Auf Station waren alle Hebammen und oder Krankenschwestern(außer eine Ausnahme) alle unfreundlich, überfordert, gestresst und unmotiviert! Wir haben drei Nächte dort verbracht, uns wurde der Notfallknopf gezeigt, aber leider ist erst jemand nach ca. 25 min gekommen! Das selbe ist mehrmals passiert und auch vom Nachbarzimmer wurde das selbe berichtet!Dies gilt auch für die Notfall Aufnahme! Extrem unfreundlich, überfordert und inkompetent! Könnte Namen nennen, aber das lass ich mal lieber!Ich denke mal, dass es hier nur um Gewinne geht für die Eigentümer und hier auf Kosten von unserer Gesundheit, Personal eingespart wird von ganz oben! Eine Hebamme hat uns gesagt, dass die nicht mehr viel Zeit hätten für Patienten, weil sie auch die Küchenarbeit machen müssten, was früher nicht der Fall war!Ein Armutszeugnis, was auf die Privatisierung der Krankenhäuser zurückzuführen ist! Gewinn vor Gesundheit!!!Das Krankenhaus ist nicht weiterzuempfehlen! LG
