Rappold, Dr. med. Eberhard M.

General surgeon

Since its foundation in 1991, the joint surgical practice of Dr.med. Friedl and Dr.med. Rappold has covered mainly three focal areas.

  • Surgical, minimally invasive treatment of all stages of varicosis (cryostripping, radio wave frequency therapy)
  • The entire range of treatments for colo-rectal diseases including endoscopic diagnostics of the upper and lower intestinal tract using total videocoloscopy and video esophagogastroduodenoscopy
  • Hernia surgery – inguinal herniae and abdominal herniae (individually adjusted repair procedures for tension-free reconstruction of the abdominal wall integrity)

Range of services

Phlebology / venous diseases

Coloproctology / colo-rectal diseases

Haemorrhoid treatment:

  • Rubber band ligation (Barron),
  • U-patch plasty acc. to Fansler Arnold (closed method, ULFA)
  • Surgery acc. to Milligan-Morgan (semi-open method)
  • HALO (Haemorrhoidal Artery Ligation Operation) with RAR (recto-anal repair)
  • Stapler haemorrhoidopexy (surgery acc. to Longo)

Depending on the individual anal topography, we readily combine the above-mentioned procedures, subanodermal haemorrhoidectomy with reconstruktive anal lifting acc. to Fansler being the most frequent intervention.

Fistula therapy: depending on the individual functional anatomy, different procedures are used, such as fistulotomy, mucosal advancement flap, plugs, thread drainage, etc.

Fissure repair: surgery acc. to Gabriel, muscle-relaxing salves, expansion, stool regulation, etc.

Hernia surgery

Inguinal herniae: Shouldice/Lichtenstein repair - first choice therapy is herniotomy and hernioplasty acc. to Shouldice under general anaesthesia with a brief inpatient stay. If repair is not possible in a tension-free manner, surgery acc. to Lichtenstein is indicated (light-weight mesh with bioresorbable and non-bioresorbable portions).

Scar / navel / abdominal herniae: primary closure or mesh insertion in sublay technique, if required.
