Qualifications
As the former Head of Breast Surgery at Vienna General Hospital (AKH) and the Breast Center in Linz, Prof. Dr. Fitzal assumed leadership of Breast Reconstruction at Hanusch Hospital in Vienna at the beginning of 2024. This change allows him to dedicate even more time to patients and provide them with individualized support throughout their treatment.
Treatments are characterized by empathy, compassion, and close interdisciplinary collaboration with other specialists. This allows for the development of tailored solutions, even in complex cases, based on individually adapted treatment plans, to achieve the best possible outcome quickly. Understanding the patients' wishes and finding a shared solution are paramount.
Our extensive experience in this field is based on training at the renowned Viennese school of medicine, particularly at the Vienna General Hospital (AKH Wien) and the Medical University of Vienna. Continuous scientific activity, regular professional development, and leading a breast surgery working group ensure that our expertise remains at the cutting edge. We are also actively involved in numerous international professional societies, including the European Society for Medical Oncology and the European Society of Surgical Oncology. In addition, we hold memberships in the Austrian Association of Surgeons, the Austrian Breast and Colorectal Cancer Study Group, the Austrian Society for Surgical Oncology, and the Austrian Society for Senology.
Extensive experience in this field is based on training at the prestigious Viennese school with an international reputation, particularly at the Vienna General Hospital (AKH Wien) and the Medical University of Vienna. The department's primary focus is on breast cancer therapy, including breast-conserving surgery, oncoplasty, mastectomy and reconstruction, anti-hormone therapy, palliative care, and follow-up. In addition, general abdominal surgery is performed, particularly operations for umbilical and inguinal hernias, as well as gallbladder surgery.
Many patients have concerns and questions that often go unanswered. Taking these seriously and addressing them comprehensively is a central priority. Beyond medical success, it is especially important that patients feel well cared for, understood, and supported throughout their entire treatment.
