If an operation is necessary, this is rarely seen as a reason to rejoice - and for all the dedication we surgeons bring to our profession, we have not forgotten that! This makes it all the more important for us not to compromise when it comes to the success of a surgical procedure and the safety of our patients is at stake.

The Clinical Department of General, Visceral and Transplant Surgery at Hannover Medical School therefore offers the entire spectrum of our specialty. As a university hospital and center of supramaximal care, you can draw on several decades of surgical expertise at our hospital. Our position as a leading Transplant Centre, oncology center and supra-regional trauma center regularly confronts us with the treatment of even the most seriously ill patients - our Clinical Department's care mandate often only begins where others no longer see any option for action.

But whether you are facing a minor or major operation, our aim is always to achieve the best possible result for you. We have taken the increasing specialization of our field into account by creating organ-related treatment teams that focus on a specific area of visceral surgery and can guarantee a correspondingly high level of treatment. In addition, our close cooperation with the other Clinical Departments and Institutes of Hannover Medical School and our own visceral surgery intensive care unit enable us to guarantee comprehensive post-operative care in accordance with the latest medical standards.
