What is MES?
MES is the transdisciplinary answer to combat unmet clinical needs in visceral and hepatobiliary medicine with a special focus on aiming to improve the performance and endurance of patient care involving surgery. As an independent department, MES is embedded in the University Clinic for General, Visceral, and Vascular Surgery at Otto-von-Guericke University (chairman Roland S Croner, a global opinion maker in robotic surgery). Our daily mission is inspired by clinical problems occurring in real-world situations before, during or after surgical interventions. MES focuses primarily – but not exclusively- on cancer research.
