“The most important objectives of the integration of the clinical system are to improve the quality of patient care, clarify patient pathways and ensure continuous professional development. The new gastroenterology unit inaugurated at Kenézy Gyula Campus is in perfect harmony with this concept. The creation of the new unit is a great example of how different professional groups and activities can be separated within a given professional specialization in order to improve the efficiency of medical work and to provide the highest possible quality of patient care. This is exactly what happened in this case as well, since our Kenézy Gyula Campus is primarily used for the treatment of pancreatic and biliary diseases, while the central, Nagyerdei Campus is home to other special fields of gastroenterology,” said�� Professor Zoltán Szabó, President of the Clinical Center of the 91��Ƶ��, to hirek.unideb.hu.

The Clinical Center of the 91��Ƶ�� was the first in Hungary to establish an independent Gastroenterology Clinic in 2021 at its Nagyerdei Campus. The professional profile of the clinic covers the entire spectrum of adult gastroenterology, including the tasks of treating patients with diseases of the digestive tract, the pancreas, the biliary tract and the liver. The clinic's new, 20-bed Pancreato-biliary and Operative Gastroenterology Unit has been opened on the fifth floor of the central building of Kenézy Gyula Campus. A four-bed specialized ward has also been created in the department.


“Our Gastroenterology Clinic treats around three hundred patients a year for acute pancreatitis on average.�� From now on, these patients will be received in the new department. The creation of the new unit makes it possible to introduce new endoscopic interventional procedures in the treatment of these diseases. In addition to acute pancreatitis, the majority of patients with various biliary tract diseases will also be treated here, especially if they require endoscopic retrograde cholangio-pancreatography (ERCP),” said Mária Papp, Professor and Director of the Department of Gastroenterology at the Clinical Center of the 91��Ƶ��.


The Medical Vice President of the Clinical Center and Director of the Gastroenterology Clinic added that the expansion of inpatient care was necessary because of the increasing number of gastrointestinal cancers in Hungary and specifically in our region. For example, in the order of frequency of diagnosed tumors, colon and rectal cancer (colorectal cancer) is in the second place, while pancreatic cancer is in the fifth place, followed by stomach cancer and liver cancer. At the same time, inflammatory bowel diseases and chronic liver diseases are also becoming more and more common.

The new unit will allow for more patients to be treated at an even higher level of proficiency than ever before.

Related to the work of the inpatient department, a new specialized outpatient clinic, called Hasnyálmirigy Betegségek Ambulancia [Pancreatic Diseases Outpatient Clinic], is also to be inaugurated soon. This specialized outpatient clinic will follow up patients with pancreatitis. The regular check-ups are necessary because there is a risk of developing diabetes, sepsis, cardiovascular problems and tumors, all of which can be prevented and treated in time with careful medical supervision.

There are also significant improvements underway in the Endoscopy Laboratory of the Gastroenterology Clinic at Kenézy Gyula Campus, with endoscopic ultrasound (EUS) examinations to be soon performed here.

The specialist services provided by the Gastroenterology Clinic are by referral and preliminary registration is also required, the information about which is detailed at the clinic's .

Regarding the developments and activities of the new department, the top management of the Clinical Center was given a thorough briefing during a presidential visit on Monday.
