The motivation is definitely to help people. And that's what I like doing best: nose surgery. Most people have complaints, e.g. impaired nasal breathing or crusting in the nose or a whistling sound. or it bleeds much more frequently. And these are all complaints that patients experience in almost 90 to 95% of cases - can be relieved if such a nasal septum is reconstructed and if which has then healed after weeks or months, then the patient can be so they are extremely helpful and afterwards they are really happy too. My name is Thoralf Stange. I am a nose surgeon with heart and soul. Half of my operations are nasal septum reconstruction. This has fascinated me for many decades now, I certainly have the most cases in Europe. The other operations are then divided up quite normally in nasal septum surgery, turbinate surgery, and of course Rhinoplasty and sinus surgery. And many patients come to me after a long period of suffering. These patients can really be helped very well in the vast majority of cases. In cases, I would say, 90, 95%. Functional nose surgery can also be performed quite well in conjunction with cosmetic surgery. the advantage, of course, is that the overall operating time is then also shorter than if two operations were performed in total. All patients who come to my surgery, here at the ENT Centre in Neuss, I also perform operations myself. Then, of course, I see all my patients during rounds the following day. And then it turns out that the vast majority of patients from far away come from all over Europe, actually. And of course I can't provide any aftercare. This is usually done by local ENT doctors. When you see the patients again after six months or a year and the symptoms are significantly better or have almost completely disappeared compared to before the operation. And that is where I ultimately draw my strength from. This is an enrichment for my whole life.
