Umbilical hernia, also known as umbilical hernia, is a common gap in the umbilical region through which fat and, in large hernias, loops of intestine can bulge.

Epigastric hernia, or upper abdominal hernia, is a gap above the umbilicus in the midline (lina alba). Due to a widened midline (rectus diastse), these hernias occur more frequently and fat, and in large hernias, intestinal loops may bulge.

Inguinal hernia is a gap in the inguinal canal that often occurs in men and causes rather pulling discomfort in the groin area in addition to a bump. Incarceration of fatty tissue or intestine is very rare.

The term rectus diastasis describes a gap in the middle of the abdomen between the straight abdominal muscles, which occurs frequently after pregnancy, weight training and obesity. 

Women in particular are often unsure whether they have a rectus diastasis.

We therefore offer a special speaking hours for women after pregnancies and diagnose a possible diastasis and discuss therapy options.

Hernia surgery is a matter of trust. At our clinic, all patients are treated only by specialists in the treatment of abdominal wall and inguinal hernias. You know your surgeon and can turn to him or her with confidence even after the operation. No anonymity or long waiting times in emergency rooms.

In hernia surgery, minor procedures such as umbilical or upper abdominal hernias can be performed very well on an outpatient basis. As a patient, this gives you the following advantages:

• You know your surgeons and the anesthesia is performed by a very experienced anesthesiologist.
• You do not have to be afraid of the anesthesia and you are guaranteed to wake up every time.
• No waiting time before surgery and no appointment cancellations or postponements due to emergencies.
• Friendly and individual care during the operation. We are always available for you.
• No risk of infection with multi-resistant germs.
• Better recovery in familiar surroundings, at your home. 

Outpatient operations are performed in our practice in Berlin-Lankwitz, Kaiser-Wilhelm-Straße 24-26.

Nevertheless, there are also cases that have to be performed as in-patient operations with overnight stays. Here we operate in the Schöneberg Clinic and in the Havel Clinic in Berlin.

Please note our special office hours during which competent advice is guaranteed.

Please make appointments to keep waiting times as short as possible.

The speaking hours are without guarantee and can vary e.g. due to operation days, further and advanced training as well as illness.
