The Coloproctology Centre of Excellence of the Kitzinger Land Clinic described as the Main-Franconia Intestinal and Rectal Centre specialises in the conservative and surgical treatment of patients with benign and malignant conditions of the large intestine and the rectum.

In order to be able to guarantee comprehensive care for the patients concerned in all phases of their condition, from early recognition and diagnosis to treatment and to co-ordinating follow-up care, specialists from the various departments collaborate in an interdisciplinary manner at the Main-Franconia Intestinal and Rectal Centre. Here, the participating specialist departments include, in particular, the Department of Abdominal Surgery, the Department of Gastroenterology and the Department of Oncology. As well, radiologists, radiotherapists, urologists, gynaecologists, pain therapists, specialists in palliative medicine and psycho-oncologists are closely involved in the care of patients with intestinal conditions at the Main-Franconia Intestinal and Rectal Centre under the leadership of Dr Fackeldey.
