About Prof. Dr. med. Merten Hommann

The Central Clinic Bad Berka presents an impressive range of services covering the entire spectrum of visceral surgical interventions. In this context, the clinic benefits from a close linkage of different departments specializing in the treatment of malignant tumors of the gastrointestinal tract, organs in the abdominal cavity such as the liver, spleen and especially the pancreas, as well as diseases of the endocrine and neuroendocrine system.

A remarkable example of multidisciplinary patient care is the "Center for Neuroendocrine Tumors". Here, seven departments of the Central Clinic work closely together. Since 2013, this center has been a recertified Center of Excellence of the "European Neuroendocrine Tumor Society (ENETS)". Prof. Hommann and his team have established tailored care for patients with neuroendocrine tumors, which due to their diversity and complexity require an intensive interdisciplinary approach.

With an unwavering commitment to the advancement of pancreatic surgery and surgery of neuroendocrine tumors, Prof. Hommann and his team have built an expertise that has helped patients worldwide over the years. The surgical team at the renowned ENETS Center of Excellence has not only helped define the standards in the treatment of neuroendocrine diseases, but has also created a supportive environment where patients feel very well perceived and cared for.

Innovative methods for best possible results

The hospital's visceral surgery unit combines the expertise of surgeons, internists, radiologists and nuclear medicine specialists to provide the best and most gentle treatment possible for patients. From minimally invasive procedures to advanced technology such as the high-energy gamma probe, which makes it possible to localize tiny neuroendocrine tumors and metastases during surgery, the Central Clinic Bad Berka relies on innovative methods to achieve optimal results. In the context of pancreatic surgery, tumor-sclerosing methods such as Irreversible Electroporation (IRE) are used in addition to classical surgical procedures.

The focus is not only on medical quality, but also on individual care. Prof. Hommann and his team attach great importance to perceiving patients as personalities and offering them the best possible treatment in close consultation. Whether benign or malignant diseases of the abdominal cavity or functional disorders of the endocrine glands - here patients find treatment characterized by comprehensive experience, professional competence and personal commitment.

The commitment of Prof. Hommann's team to research and continuing education ensures that the latest findings and technologies are incorporated into treatment, which continuously improves the chances of success for patients.
