Making informed decisions

Operation yes / no?

We are specialists in surgery. Consequently, surgical treatment and especially laser surgery are our core competence. Nevertheless, not every patient needs surgery. We also advise you on alternative treatment options without surgery.

We will give you a clear recommendation if an intervention seems to us to be the best treatment option. For some clinical pictures, we go new ways to be able to offer you the gentlest possible treatment. This concerns coccygeal fistula and laser treatment for haemorrhoids. In contrast, for anal f issure and anal fistula we only trust the tried and tested method of excision. Some promising developments have unfortunatelynot fulfilledthe hopes .

Just as important as a perfect surgical technique is the postoperative follow-up treatment. With this in mind, we offer LLLT (Low Level Laser Therapy, also known as soft laser treatment) for convalescence to stimulate the body's healing powers at the cellular level. Magnetic field therapy is a suitable, non-invasive procedure for rehabilitation of the sphincter muscle. Laser hair removal prevents recurrences after surgery of a pilonidal sinus.

The 5 most common symptoms in the proctologist's practice

Bleeding

If you notice blood in the stool or blood when wiping, you may be worried about bowel cancer. Much more often, haemorrhoids or an anal fissure are the cause of bleeding. The examination by the proctologist gives you certainty.

Protrusions and growths

Most often, we see harmless anal thromboses or skin folds (marisques). However, it can also be prolapsed haemorrhoids, polyps, virus-related warts (condylomas) or, rarely, anal cancer (anal carcinoma).

Pain

Pain at the anus is most common with anal vein thrombosis (also called "external haemorrhoid"), anal fissure or anal abscess.

Itching

Itching affects the quality of life when you wake up at night or can no longer sit still in a meeting. Itching can occur with haemorrhoids, anal vein thrombosis or anal fistulas, but also with skin diseases such as psoriasis, neurodermatitis or infection.

Moisture, secretion

Increased wetness can occur with haemorrhoids, rectal prolapse, anal fistulas or as a symptom of anal eczema, much less frequently with sphincter weakness and occasionally due to increased activity of the anal glands (proctodeal glands).

With incontinence, the way to the toilet becomes long

Weakness of posture (incontinence)

When the ability to control stool and bowel gas is disturbed, it is called incontinence. Treatment includes stool regulation, pelvic floor exercises, biofeedback and magnetic field stimulation.

Modern therapies from laser to magnetic field

Innovation in Proctology: New Forms of Energy

Einstein's ingenious idea of the laser allows for an unprecedented precision of treatment. Pulsating Magnetic Field (Signal) Therapy (PST) tightens connective tissue, strengthens muscle strength and sensitivity, and relieves pain.

Reviews

Finally, a few figures on our specialisation (as of quarter 4/2018, source: KVB kassenärztliche Vereinigung Bayerns): 49.5% of our patients were treated for haemorrhoids (compared to 4.8% in the specialist group of surgeons in general), 30.3% for another rectal disease (comparative value: 3.52%), 24.7% for a coccygeal fistula (comparative value: 2.8%). The average age of our patients was 39.5 years. In other words: coccygeal fistulas and haemorrhoids are by no means a symptom of old age. The gender distribution was relatively balanced with 41 % female and 59 % male patients.
