Dr. Piotr Konopka
About me
I am a graduate of the Medical University of Warsaw. Since 2015, I have worked in the General Surgery Department at the hospital Łużyckie Centrum Medyczne in Lubań, where I gained valuable professional experience and completed my specialist training in general surgery. In 2023, I took on the role of Endoscopy Unit Coordinator, where I expanded the unit’s operations and now perform the majority of its endoscopic procedures.
From the very beginning of my medical career, continuous improvement of my skills has been my top priority. During my specialization training—and beyond—I participated in numerous courses and workshops, particularly in gastrointestinal endoscopy at the Endoscopy Clinic of the Jagiellonian University Medical College, as well as in plastic and burn surgery at the Multispecialty Hospital in Nowa Sól.
Since mid-2023, I have focused almost exclusively on diagnostic and therapeutic endoscopic procedures of the upper and lower gastrointestinal tract, including gastroscopy, colonoscopy, and rectosigmoidoscopy. I routinely perform diagnostic and therapeutic procedures such as biopsies, polypectomies, and the removal of extensive lesions using mucosectomy. I also carry out emergency interventions, including life-saving endoscopic bleeding control.
In my practice, I place special emphasis on clear and compassionate communication with patients. I believe that dedicating sufficient time, listening attentively, and explaining diagnoses and recommendations in a clear, understandable way are essential parts of good medical care.
“Because good medical care starts with a good conversation.”
