New EAT Centre at Leipzig University Hospital offers comprehensive care for children with complex oesophageal and respiratory diseases
Under the direction of Professor Martin Lacher, Medical Director of the Department of Paediatric Surgery, the centre sets new treatment standards by using state-of-the-art medical techniques such as thoracoscopic and robot-assisted surgery. Particular attention is paid to preserving the natural oesophagus of the affected children, with alternative treatment methods also being used if necessary. The EAT Centre is unique in Germany and is based on models from the USA, such as Boston Children's Hospital. It is already recognised as a European Reference Centre for Congenital Malformations (ERNICA). A holistic approach to treatment, which emphasises the involvement of families and cooperation with self-help organisations, aims to sustainably improve the quality of life of children with the disease.
