Dr Sander Kütner
Dr Sander Kütner is a general and oncological surgeon specialising in oncological surgery of the upper gastrointestinal tract, the liver and biliary tract. He also regularly performs surgeries for other abdominal cavity, abdominal wall, skin and soft tissue diseases (including hernia surgeries, gall bladder surgeries, skin and soft tissue tumour removals). In addition to surgical procedures, his daily work includes gastrointestinal endoscopic examinations.
His main job at the North Estonia Medical Centre has given him more than 10 years of professional experience. He joined the Health Clinic Weight Loss Clinic team in 2015. International training and specialised surgical education are an essential part of his work; without these, it would not be possible to provide safe, up-to-date and optimal care to patients today.
As good friends and course mates, they have been working together with Health Clinic’s bariatric and abdominal wall reconstructive surgeon Dr Martin Adamson at the North Estonia Medical Centre’s Surgery Clinic for the last few years and share the same principles in performing safe and patient-centred surgery.
