Herzlich Willkommen in der Proktologischen Praxis und dem Pilonidal Sinus Zentrum München!
Proctology in Munich. And only proctology.
Your specialists in Pilonidal surgery
Competence Center for Proctology (BCD)
With Dr. Bernhard Hofer and staff surgeons Dr. Klaus Bärtl and Dr. Susanne Schuster, three experienced specialists take care of your cure. We have specialised exclusively in the treatment of anal disorders and the tailbone cyst (Pilonidal sinus). Consequentely you can rely on solid competence in proctology. The Association of Coloproctologists (BCD) has awarded us as a Center of Competence.
Over 4000 patients a year place their trust in us (09/2017). Our focus is on the treatment of coccyx fistulas (962) and haemorrhoids (2064 patients). Since 2013 more than 3126 patients with coccyx fistula have been treated in our practice (status 07/2018).
Personally. Experienced. Authentic.
We're surgical specialists. 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.
In other words, we will give you a clear recommendation if an intervention appears to us to be the best treatment option. For some clinical pictures we go new ways in order to be able to offer you a treatment that is as gentle as possible. This concerns coccyx fistula and laser treatment for hemorrhoids. In contrast, with anal fissure and anal fistula we trust only the proven method of cutting. Some promising innovations of the past years have unfortunately not fulfilled the hopes.
Postoperative follow-up treatment is just as important as perfect surgical technique. With this in mind, we offer post-treatment with LLLT (Low Level Laser Therapy, also soft laser treatment) to stimulate the body's healing powers at the cellular level. Magnetic field therapy is a suitable, non-invasive procedure for the rehabilitation of the sphincter muscle. Laser hair removal prevents relapses after coccyx fistula surgery.
Finally, Jameda and Proven Expert will tell you how other patients have perceived and evaluated our treatment!

The latest news in a nutshell

Fistula healing without radical surgery with Pit Picking and Laser
A coccyx fistula is caused by ingrown or spiked hair in the area of the gluteal fold. Symptoms are pain, redness and swelling (pilonidal abscess) or the secretion of blood or pus (pilonidal fistula). Dr. Bernhard Hofer and the employed doctors Dr. Klaus Bärtl and Dr. Susanne Schuster will quickly be able to take away your worries regarding a protracted or painful treatment.
In contrast to the standard method, we have developed our own method of treatment for the pilonidal sinus, based on the pit picking technique of Lord and Bascom. Wound pain, healing time and duration of inability to work can thus be significantly reduced.
Coccyx fistula? Hemorrhoids?
Proctology is the specialist field for rectal diseases!
Complaints on your butt? It must be the hemorrhoids! That's what most people think. The diagnoses coccyx fistula (pilonidal sinus), anal fissure, anal fistula and anal thrombosis are less known. Find out now on our overview page what you need to know about these frequent clinical pictures. This brings you one step closer to solving your problem. Dr. Bernhard Hofer, Klaus Bärtl and Dr. Susanne Schuster are three experienced specialists who will take care of you.
Innovation in Proctology: New Forms of Energy
Modern therapies from laser to magnetic field
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.
Finally, a few figures on our specialization (as of quarter 4/2018, source: KVB kassenärztliche Vereinigung Bayerns): 49.5 % of our patients were treated with hemorrhoids (compared with 4.8 % in the specialist group of surgeons in general), 30.3 % with another rectal disease (comparative value: 3.52 %), 24.7 % with a coccyx fistula (comparative value: 2.8 %). The average age of our patients was 39.5 years. In other words: coccyx fistulas and haemorrhoids are by no means a sign of old age. By the way, the gender distribution was also relatively balanced with 41% female and 59% male patients.
