Overview

Surgical physicians determine the indication for operations, obtain informed consent and perform the procedures in the operating room. Perioperative treatment covers preparation, positioning techniques, aftercare and the management of complications. In the theatre they work with techniques such as dissection, suturing, open and minimally invasive approaches and use ultrasound and intraoperative radiological control while observing radiation protection. Their procedures include hernia repair, appendectomy, cholecystectomy and fracture care, as well as emergency surgery for severely injured patients. They document findings, hand over patients in a structured way and work interprofessionally with other professional groups.
