Our gastroenterologists look for the causes of discomfort or disease in the esophagus, stomach or intestine, and investigate the reason for heartburn, the most common disorder of the digestive tract. At the Confraternität & Goldenes Kreuz Private Hospital our specialists and attending doctors use state-of-the-art diagnostic technology, which provides precise imaging and tissue samples.
In the event that an inpatient stay is necessary, you will be taken care of by surgeons who specialize in operations on the digestive tract, including the esophagus, stomach and intestines. A treatment plan is made to suit your individual needs, which always includes nutritional advice for the period after your discharge from the hospital.
An interdisciplinary approach allows the best possible care for patients with oncological illnesses.

Which gastrointestinal diseases are treated at our hospital?

An increase in gastrointestinal problems (stomach pain, heartburn, consti­pation, diarrhea, ...) can be traced to our partially industria­lized nutrition. Our specialists in gastroenterology treat the following:

  • Acid reflux
  • Inflammation of digestive tract
  • Chronic diseases of digestive tract
  • Intestinal polyps
  • Diarrhea
  • Gastroscopy
  • Colonoscopy
  • Obesity

Colorectal carcinoma is also one of the most common forms of cancer. The good news is that in most cases, regular screening prevents colon cancer from deve­loping. At Confraternität & Goldenes Kreuz, endo­scopic investi­gations such as gastro­scopy and colono­scopy are carried out gently and without pain, under sedation, by our certified experts. “Virtual colono­scopy,” a com­puterized tomo­graphic exa­mination of the colon, is another special dia­gnostic option available at Con­fraternität & Goldenes Kreuz.

Center for Endoscopy

For the prevention and diagnosis of gastro­intestinal diseases, the Center for Endoscopy offers gastro­scopy and colono­scopy. These proce­dures are carried out care­fully and pain­lessly for the patients in a plea­sant atmo­sphere.

Which liver and gallbladder diseases are treated at our hospital?

These abdominal organs provide vital func­tions for the meta­bolism (liver), digestion (gall bladder and pan­creas), and hormone produc­tion (pancreas). Problems in this area need prompt investi­gation.

Thorough laboratory analyses in combi­nation with imaging techni­ques (ultrasound, x-ray, com­puterized tomo­graphy, magnetic resonance imaging) lead to rapid and accurate dia­gnosis in most cases, allowing appro­priate thera­peutic mea­sures to be started promptly.

The most common com­plaints in these areas are chronic or acute in­flammations, e.g. of the liver, in the form of hepa­titis, or of the gall bladder, due to gall stones or tumors.
