Medical training and professional career
Dr. Macho began his surgical career at the Evangelische Elisabeth Klinik Berlin, where he gained in-depth experience in the field of orthopaedics and trauma surgery.
His special talent for surgical precision and his structured approach were already evident here – qualities that were to have a decisive influence on his future career.
Specialization and managerial activity at the Eberswalde Clinic
Dr. Macho then worked for many years at the Werner Forßmann Clinic in Eberswalde, where he continued to develop and eventually became a senior physician. During this time, he specialized intensively in hernia and thoracic surgery.
He was in charge of the hernia and thoracic consultations with comprehensive sonographic diagnostics (including hernia sonography) and was significantly involved in the further development and organization of the surgical care spectrum.
Operational focus
- Hernia surgery: specialization in minimally invasive (laparoscopic) and open procedures for the treatment of all types of abdominal wall hernias
- Outpatient and inpatient general surgery, including soft tissue procedures
- Laparoscopic cholecystectomies
- Oncological visceral surgery: hemicolectomies, sigmoid resections, small bowel resections
- Thoracic surgery: Broad spectrum under the direction of Prof. Pereszlenyi, including septic and oncological lung and thoracic interventions – with the exception of transplants and procedures with heart-lung machines
Further training, scientific exchange and technical routine
Dr. Macho continuously supplements his clinical expertise with numerous further training courses, work shadowing and specialist exchange formats, particularly in the fields of hernia surgery, sonography (DEGUM) and thoracic surgery.
His surgical routine is characterized by minimal invasiveness, precise technique and a clear focus on the latest scientific guidelines.
Interdisciplinary skills: pediatric surgery, intensive care medicine, emergency medical service
Another focus of his medical development was his rotation in pediatric surgery and intensive care medicine, which allowed him to gain valuable interdisciplinary experience.
For several years, Dr. Macho also worked as an emergency doctor in the ambulance service – an activity that further honed his decision-making skills, resilience and rapid clinical assessment.
Specialist in thoracic surgery in preparation (planned July 2025)
The second specialist certification in thoracic surgery is currently imminent (planned for July 2025), which means that Dr. Macho will have an exceptionally well-founded dual qualification in two highly complex surgical disciplines.
