About MD R. Merkle

As a renowned surgical facility, the Munich Medical Competence Center is managed by the experienced and well-known surgeon Dr. med. Richard Merkle represented as head of the visceral surgery department. The entire team of doctors and practice places the highest quality demands on surgical work in order to guarantee the best possible treatment success for each individual patient.

Dr. Merkle and his team cover various general surgical focuses. Due to the experience of around 2,000 operations, he is an extremely experienced and accomplished representative of his field with excellent expertise in the field of minimally invasive endoscopic procedures.

The focus of treatment includes all relevant, modern techniques of hernia surgery (in particular operations on inguinal hernia and umbilical hernia). In this way, the most suitable method can be selected and used for the individual patient. Due to the high number of operations (number of cases), patients encounter a very experienced and experienced doctor.

The surgical spectrum also includes complex anti-reflux interventions against heartburn, partial colon removal or obesity surgery, such as gastric band and sleeve stomach operations, which are performed laparoscopically (minimally invasive).

The interdisciplinary cooperation with colleagues from other specialties through the integration in the Isarkliniken Munich is of great advantage for the patient, as specialist experts, such as gastroenterologists or urologists, can be called in at any time to provide the patient with the best possible care for the surgical procedure and during the to enable the entire inpatient stay.
