Teaching
Dear students
The Clinical Department of Plastic, Hand and Reconstructive Surgery would like to introduce students at Hannover Medical School to the exciting and extremely diverse surgical specialty of plastic, hand and reconstructive surgery.
We would like to document this with a patient-oriented lecture and the integration of the block interns into our daily clinical routine.
Our Clinical Department warmly welcomes those interested in a PJ tertial and will reward you and your commitment with an exciting and varied PJ tertial.
As the Clinical Department's lecturer, I am always available to answer your questions, criticism and suggestions.
Yours sincerely
As part of your PJ training, you will be introduced to the breadth of the entire specialist field. Your commitment and dedication will be rewarded with integration into our team.
You will be integrated into the daily routine of our Clinical Department and become familiar with the diverse range of operations performed in a plastic surgery clinic. You will also gain an insight into the management of pre- and post-operative patient care on a ward.
Take advantage of the rare opportunity to spend a few days in our intensive care unit for severely burned patients. You will also take part in our daily morning briefing and the afternoon indication briefing. You will of course be released from work for your PJ seminar.
The Clinical Department of Plastic, Aesthetic, Hand and Reconstructive Surgery offers students the elective subject - Wound Management. This also includes a suture course on the phantom.
Please send your registration to the Office of Academic Affairs under Elective II.

If you are interested in clinically oriented doctorates, please contact the senior physicians and assistants of the Clinical Department.
Our Clinical Department is open to interested students from younger semesters for a clinical traineeship, which will certainly bring you closer to our interesting and versatile surgical subject.
Please send your application to Univ.-Prof. Dr. Vogt.
Practical training in plastic surgery is of great importance. We have developed a flap simulator ("GK-Flap Lab of the MHH") in the Clinical Department for PHW Surgery at the MHH. With this model, students and residents are able to understand the basic principles of defect coverage using local flap plasty under professional guidance and perform it themselves.
This course is aimed at advanced students from the 8th semester and residents in a surgical subject and is offered in the MHH course catalog.
In the microsurgical training laboratory, our employees and students who are completing their PJ, clinical traineeship or block internship in our Clinical Department are trained in microsurgical techniques.

As part of your specialist training at the PHW, you will go through various areas according to the structured curriculum.
