Proctologist-proctologist in Cologne

Proctologists are specialists in proctology in Cologne. The HeumarktClinic Proktologie in Cologne treats the anal area, rectum, pelvic floor and vaginal wall. Specialists in proctology in Cologne are now responsible for the special treatment of hemorrhoids. The focus of proctology in Cologne is the treatment of hemorrhoids.

Is there the best proctology clinic in Germany?

Various Internet portals and well-known media agencies, such as the Focus best list, give recommendations as to who is the best proctologist and which clinic is the best proctological clinic in Germany. We, firmly established doctors in private practice for 23 years with several decades of professional experience in the field of proctology, allow us to give you a checklist that can help you to decide, as follows:

Titles and rankings bought by agencies do not count.

A professor, for example, usually focuses on science. However, if he also works in practice, then he usually heads a department in a hospital. Hospitals have different objectives than ambulatory surgeons and proctologists as they specialize in larger and more difficult surgeries. This is absolutely essential with certain diseases, such as a colon tumor. In the case of hemorrhoids, on the other hand, patients usually expect to be able to sit, walk and work immediately without failure and no complications after an anal procedure. For business people, media people, the self-employed, etc., being able to work immediately without hospitalization is an absolute criterion when choosing the best proctologist in Cologne or the best proctological clinic in Germany. If there are two methods of treating a disease, then the following questions should be asked

hemorrhoids

Hemorrhoids are a well-perfused, spongy vascular cushion located at the end of the rectum. When people talk about hemorrhoids, they usually mean enlarged or sunken hemorrhoids that cause symptoms in the context of hemorrhoidal disease by causing pain, weeping, itching, stool staining or bleeding.

are hemorrhoids Causes of rectal prolapse, pelvic floor weakness and anal insufficiency. Anal insufficiency is incomplete anal incontinence. Hemorrhoids cause anal insufficiency, oozing, itching, burning, redness, and scratching. Scratches, rubbing further damage the skin on the rectum. Hemorrhoids and bowel prolapse should be treated preventively and at an early stage. Avoidance of pain, wound healing disorders, rapid healing and ability to work are our priorities.

In addition to minor interventions, Dr. Haffner trained in all visceral surgery and colo-proctological interventions as well as in vascular surgery and plastic surgery. He worked for several decades as a senior physician and head of department and has been the resident practice manager since 2000.

The LHPC – Laser Hemorrhoids Plastic Surgery

Due to its gentle nature, laser treatment opens a new chapter in the history of proctology. Tormenting attempts with ointments, sitz baths, Vaseline, etc. are no longer necessary after laser hemorrhoid plastic therapy. Laser treatment quickly relieves you of anal problems that have existed for decades through an atraumatic operation. Laser therapy reduces fears of hemorrhoid surgery with severe pain and other complications. All degrees of severity of hemorrhoids can be treated gently and with hardly any pain using laser beams. Hemorrhoid operations with knife and scissors are hardly necessary anymore.

The HeumarktClinic is a leader in technology and methods of laser therapy. The LHPC is one of the greatest innovations of the HeumarktClinic. At the HeumarktClinic, all types of proctological diseases, such as internal and external hemorrhoids (perianal veins), skin tags, anal fistulas, dermoid cysts, polyps and condylomas can be treated easily and painlessly with a laser. The HeumarktClinic introduces modern laser proctology in Germany.

Lasers instead of surgery

Laser treatment sets new standards in proctology. Everything that has been written about hemorrhoids so far is outdated and nobody needs it anymore. This is our guide to hemorrhoids.

Home remedies to treat hemorrhoids:

Natural Remedies may provide relief, but the hemorrhoids persist and get progressively worse. Continence worsens, weeping and itching occur more frequently, stool soiling and brown underwear become visible. Laser treatment, on the other hand, is quick and painless. Laser Hemorrhoid Plastic Surgery (LHPC) is performed under local anesthesia or short anesthesia within 20-30 minutes. After that, there are no hemorrhoids or pain. After a swelling and healing of 4-5 days, there are no more complaints. Fears are unfounded, complications are as good as impossible. The hemorrhoids that many have been suffering from for decades can be cured forever with a gentle and absolutely painless LHPC session. Of course, this statement only applies to the hemorrhoids that are present during the treatment. New hemorrhoids can grow out after any operation, so follow-up checks are recommended even years later.

Everything else – especially great pain afterwards and hospital stays – is a thing of the past. Likewise the torment with ointments, sitz baths, Vaseline, enemas, Prokto-Clean and other natural remedies for hemorrhoids. If someone is symptom-free after laser treatment, they no longer need to worry about the rectum

Pilonidal fistula, dermoid cyst, pilonidal sinus

A cyst is an encapsulated cavity in the body. The pilonidal sinus or dermoid cyst, pilonidal sinus, is a cyst, a pocket of skin on the tailbone. The pilonidal sinus is most often found in the center of the buttock crease. A pilonidal sinus also forms spurs, pockets in one or more directions. Skin pockets often contain hair or other dead skin cells. It is also referred to as “jeep disease”, recruit abscess, pilonidal cyst, coccyx dermoid or dermoid cyst. US Army soldiers driving jeeps have often suffered from it. It is believed that the hair on the buttocks migrates under the skin and encapsulates itself there. Later, an inflammation forms, a coccyx abscess. When the coccygeal abscess erupts, ducts are often left that lead to the abscess site, the coccygeal dermoid, or pilonidal sinus. The treatment of the coccyx fistula still includes major operations in the hospital today. Healing takes a long time, often 4-6 weeks. Large, disfiguring scars remain. In particular, the coccyx fistula operation using the Karydakis method with skin flaps causes large scars.

The laser method of sinus pilonidalis surgery was introduced at the HeumarktClinic Laser Plastic Proctology in Cologne. The laser method of treating the pilonidal sinus is painless. Wound healing takes days instead of weeks. There are no disfiguring scars. After laser treatment, patients are able to work instead of being unable to work

The pit picking method with 3D laser treatment

With the pit picking method, the fistula is cleaned by widening or minimally circumcising the existing fistula tract. Hair, tissue debris, pus, etc. are removed from the cyst in a minimally invasive manner without a surgical incision. The cleaned cyst is then closed with a special 3D laser.

Pilonidal fistula consultation appointment online

The HeumarktClinic's special coccyx fistula 3D laser probe radiates in all directions and thus closes the entire cyst from the inside. The wound healing then takes place without further suppuration, depending on the findings without problems and without pain, sometimes lasting longer. Patients save themselves purulent wounds, pain, scars and disfigurement of the bottom with a so-called Karydakis operation.

The coccyx fistula laser closure according to Haffner

The method is a combination of pit picking treatment and laser therapy with minimally invasive measures. The coccyx fistula PIT-PICK-LASER combination is an innovation by Dr. Haffner, head of the HeumarktClinic. Due to his exceptional experience of over 35 years and his specialization, the coccyx fistula laser closure with suture was developed. After the laser treatment, the fistula is closed with a special suture - like a zipper - and typically heals within 3-6 days without pain and weeping. The patients are socially acceptable from the second day after the operation and after the wound has healed - 6-7 days - they are also able to work.

Arrange an expert discussion on the Pilonidal Sinus

With the laser closure, the HeumarktClinic offers the most painless and fastest sinus pilonidal plastic surgery in the world. Forget everything else and do not undergo Karydakis or other conventional, painful and unsafe surgeries. Of course, there is no guarantee that no procedure will be 100% free of side effects and complications. However, these are least likely with the laser seam method - in the hands of the developer.

Other proctological diseases in Cologne

Most rectal skin diseases are related to hemorrhoids, as follows:

Most rectal skin conditions are related to hemorrhoids, such as:

Eczema and skin inflammation on the anus

Sore skin and skin tags (flaps of skin) are most often caused by hemorrhoids. By treating hemorrhoids, the proctologist in Cologne can also improve skin diseases. Unfortunately, only skin ointments, hemorrhoid ointments and ointments against pain do not heal hemorrhoids. An examination by a good proctologist in Cologne helps to find the cause of the symptoms. Ointments and natural remedies for hemorrhoids only really help when the proctologist in Cologne has found the cause. Cortisone ointment only provides temporary relief without any causal treatment.

Anal tear, anal fissure, anal pain

often occur as a result of hemorrhoids. Hemorrhoids stretch and thin the mucous membrane, which then tears very easily. Anal hypertension and sphincter spasm are "normal" side effects of hemorrhoids. Anal stretching, anal dilators, or anal muscle relaxation help relax the sphincters. The modern treatment of anal tears in the proctology department in Cologne therefore includes muscle-relaxing treatment in the HeumarktClinic proctology department. In addition to muscle relaxation, we also recommend the laser method for anal tears.

Perianal thrombosis – anal vein thrombosis

Perianal veins often lead to thrombosis in the perianal area. Perianal thrombosis is a thrombosis of the anal veins - perianal veins. The HeumarktClinic Proktologie in Cologne has developed a new laser plastic surgery for the treatment of perianal veins. The perianal thromboses are peeled out in the HeumarktClinic proctology using the laser method. We operate on other perianal veins just as gently with a laser. These are revolutionary, new innovations in proctology in Cologne.

anal skin marks

are the result of anal tears, perianal thrombosis or eczema. We selectively remove skin tags with the laser. In the HeumarktClinic Laser Plastic Proctology, we treat the perianal veins as well as the skin tags "without surgery" only with the laser beam in an innovative way without a scalpel. Both the perianal veins and the skin tags regress spontaneously after the laser treatment. There is no wound, no pain and no loss of work

anal condylomas

Anal condylomas, also known as genital warts, are small growths that form around the anus and inside the anus. They are caused by infection with the human papillomavirus (HPV). Anal condylomas are often small initially and cause no symptoms, making them easy to miss. However, when they get bigger or multiply, they can cause itching and bleeding.

Anal fistula, anal abscess

Anal fistulas result from an infection of the anal glands, usually after a previous anal abscess. Anal fistula surgery is only 70% successful, with up to 30% of cases recurring. That's why we treat the anal fistula at the HeumarktClinic Proktologie in Cologne with a laser instead of an operation. The laser fistula treatment is low-risk, “the scalpel stays in the drawer”. The sphincters are spared. We can carry out the laser fistula operation again in the event of a new fistula.

Tumors and polyps in the rectum

Rectum tumors must be discovered early and removed completely. The treatment of polyps and tumors of the anus should only be carried out by a specialist in proctology in Cologne. Only a good proctologist in Cologne has radicalism, protection of the sphincter muscles and extensive operational and oncological experience. Colon polyps are a precursor to colon cancer. Preventive colonoscopy (colonoscopy) is extremely important for early detection.

Pelvic floor and vaginal weakness

The rectum and vagina are connected to each other. Weakness of the rectum and pelvic floor affects the entire pelvic floor. In the rectocele clinical picture, the weak anterior wall of the rectum bulges into the vagina, or the vaginal posterior wall shows a strong bulge, which can be considerably disruptive and cause pain, for example, during sexual intercourse. The weakness of the front wall of the vagina that is often present is called a cystocele, where the bladder prolapses into the vagina. This can cause urination. Strong muscles in the vagina and rectum are essential for a healthy pelvic floor. A good proctologist in Cologne will eliminate the weakness of the pelvic floor in both the rectum and the vagina. A holistic view and tightening of the entire pelvic floor, anal tightening and vaginal tightening are routine tasks at the HeumarktClinic Plastic-Surgical Proctology in Cologne.

A vaginal and pelvic floor lift may be necessary in the case of vaginal weakness, for example after childbirth trauma, problems with urination or an unfulfilled sex life.

Examination "Proktologie" in Cologne for the first time

While a gynecological examination is considered everyday and “normal”, an examination in proctology is often considered a taboo subject. The fear of pain also keeps many people from having a rectal examination. In the HeumarktClinic Proktologie in Cologne, the examination is carried out gently and painlessly by digital scanning (with the examination finger), ultrasound, proctoscopy and balloon probe in a lateral position on the left side. The procedure for the examination at the proctologist in Cologne is as follows:

 Procedure of a proctological examination

Inspection – the visual diagnosis

During a proctological examination in Cologne, a good proctologist examines the skin in the area of ​​the anus and can thus identify skin diseases. This inspection is not painful.

rectal ultrasound scan

With a special ultrasound probe, the entire pelvic area can be imaged without having to insert the probe. Digital hand palpation should also be performed to diagnose muscles, venous pads, polyps, and tumors in the rectum and adjacent organs.

proctoscopy

A proctoscopy is an exam in which a rigid instrument called a proctoscope is inserted into the anal canal to examine the lower part of the rectum. This examination can help to diagnose various diseases such as tears in the mucous membrane in the area of ​​the anus or tumors. Tissue samples can also be taken during the examination and minor treatments can be carried out.

Special hygiene during proctoscopy

At the HeumarktClinic, we attach great importance to hygiene during proctoscopy. That is why we only use disposable plastic proctoscopes that are disposed of after the examination. Each patient thus receives a brand-new, sterile proctoscope. This is not common in all practices in Germany, as many work with reusable metal proctoscopes that are only disinfected between examinations. With us, however, you can be sure that the highest hygiene standards are observed.

Measurement of the closing force

The closability and strength of the rectum and vagina as well as the strength of their joint muscles are important for the pelvic floor closure. Secretions from either orifice can cause eczema, inflammation, skin tags, skin sores and itching. A distended vagina can lead to bladder weakness, prolapse of the rectum wall, vaginal wall, uterus, and inflammation, affecting sex life.

The measurement of sphincter force refers to the ability of the rectal and vaginal sphincters to contract and relax to control the passage of stool or urine. This measurement can be taken to assess the strength and function of the sphincters and identify any weaknesses or dysfunctions. The measurement can be performed using a variety of methods, such as a balloon probe or some other type of pressure measurement.

Restoration of pelvic floor weakness

dr Haffner is specially trained to restore the damaged pelvic floor in the anal and vaginal area and has been performing rectal and vaginal tightening for decades.
