Where the doctor practises and what they do
Prof. Mihaljevic heads the university department of general, visceral and transplant surgery in Tuebingen. His main field is surgical oncology: the removal of tumours of the digestive organs together with the surrounding lymph nodes, often combined with drug treatment. What belongs to cancer treatment in Germany is described on a separate page.
His second field is robotic and minimally invasive surgery, in which the operation is carried out through a few small ports while the surgeon guides the instruments of the robot and sees a magnified image on the screen. He also works in transplant surgery, general visceral surgery, proctology and emergency surgery.
