Dr. med. Philippe Glauser, a specialist in visceral surgery and proctology, received the seal of approval from the online portal Leading Medicine Guide. The renowned specialist was honored primarily for his achievements in minimally invasive cancer surgery, a field in which he has earned a first-class reputation far beyond the region as Chief of Visceral Surgery at Dornach Hospital. 

In recent years, the Department of Surgery in Dornach has contributed significantly to the reputation of the Solothurn hospitals, of which Dornach Hospital is a part. The primary driving force behind this is its director: Dr. med. Philippe Glauser, a proven specialist in visceral surgery who treats all diseases, injuries, and malformations of the gastrointestinal tract, the abdominal organs, the abdominal wall, and the endocrine glands. As an experienced surgeon, Dr. Glauser usually enables his patients to return quickly to their normal daily lives—thanks to his high level of expertise in minimally invasive surgery. Gentle anesthesia techniques and careful planning also contribute to the clinic’s medical success. People in the surrounding area thus have an outstanding resource when it comes to healthcare.

LMG Seal Awarded to Dr. med. Philippe Glauser

Dr. med. Philippe Glauser is exceptionally well-connected in the scientific and research communities within his field—on an international level. He first drew attention to himself with his doctoral dissertation: With his thesis on gallbladder cancer, for which he received his doctorate, he was already setting standards at the University of Basel at that time. It’s no wonder, then, that he is still highly regarded today as a member of the European Society for Surgical Oncology and the Swiss Society for Visceral Surgery (SGVC).

“LMG Seal 2019”: Renowned Specialist Honored

It therefore comes as no surprise that he has now been awarded the Leading Medicine Guide Seal. In addition to minimally invasive cancer surgery—for which Dr. Glauser is primarily known—the specialist’s range of services also includes other procedures in visceral surgery. He consistently excels in the fields of hernia surgery and proctology. In addition to his professional expertise, empathy is one of the specialist’s key strengths: Dr. Glauser always places the patient at the center of his treatment—and thus focuses on achieving the fastest possible recovery. To make this possible, the chief physician in Dornach relies on minimally invasive methods—such as laser surgery—even for proctological conditions like hemorrhoids or anal fistulas.

For doctors and patients in the region, the award has a pleasant side effect: The “LMG Seal 2019” guarantees that Dr. med. Philippe Glauser will continue to enjoy high visibility—as he will remain listed on the well-known expert portal in the future.
