Hernias and abdominal wall defects

We treat hernias, i.e., inguinal, umbilical, and diaphragmatic hernias, as well as complex abdominal wall defects, with the greatest expertise. With around 300,000 operations performed each year in Germany, hernias are one of the most common surgical conditions. The spectrum ranges from relatively uncomplicated inguinal or umbilical hernias to complex abdominal wall defects or internal hernias, known as diaphragmatic hernias. Besides surgical expertise, it is particularly important to make the correct assessment and preoperative diagnosis.

Hernia centre

Our hernia centre offers you leading-edge surgical techniques. These can often be performed using minimally invasive techniques, i.e. keyhole surgery. Complex abdominal wall reconstructions are offered for severe cases, possibly with supportive measures such as fascial traction systems, progressive pneumoperitoneum or botox treatment.
