Rectal diseases and endoscopy

The gut is the centre of your health.

Diseases of the gastrointestinal tract and especially the rectum are taboo in our society. Although many people suffer from a wide variety of rectal complaints such as haemorrhoids or weak stool retention, these patients do not consult a doctor because they are ashamed to talk about the problem. There are many causes for complaints of the digestive tract, which can be detected by a specialised doctor through usually less complex, quick and largely painless examinations. In our practice, you can discuss your problems and complaints with medical experts in a quiet, discreet atmosphere, where we attach particular importance to your privacy.

Diagnostics, therapy and coordination of treatment
for the entire gastrointestinal tract

In our practice for endoscopy and rectal diseases, we offer you the entire spectrum of diagnostics and endoscopic treatment for all diseases of the gastrointestinal tract using the latest examination methods. We specialise in the treatment of the rectum in particular. You will be carefully examined and treated by surgeons with many years of diagnostic and surgical experience and highly specialised additional qualifications in endoscopic diagnostics and therapy.
