Asklepios Hospital Barmbek Hamburg

Asklepios Hospital Barmbek Hamburg is a general clinic that began to provide services in 1913 and gradually changed following modern realities. Currently, the medical center has 19 departments with 670 beds. More than 1,600 employees care for more than 35,000 inpatients and 50,000 outpatients annually. The hospital provides various services for treatment. In particular, palliative medicine doctors have cooperated with specialized units and the Asklepios Tumor Center Hamburg for over 30 years. In 2022, a special commission on tumor issues was created. Gastroenterologists, radiologists, and visceral surgeons have chosen the main direction in treating and diagnosing benign liver neoplasm. The oncological and urological cure is also popular in the region. This allows diagnostic possibilities, such as perineal (through the perineum) prostate biopsy, to be comprehensively developed. It is significant that urologists constantly carry out research work and have been repeatedly recognized with awards from the North German Association of Urologists. Compared to the standard rectal tissue collection procedure, the new method reduces the risk of infections and shortens the procedure time. In accumulation, radiologists have introduced new methods of highly targeted transarterial chemotherapy of liver cancer for inoperable tumors and severe metastases. This approach makes it possible to expand the range of remedies for seriously ill patients and reduce the burden on the body. Another critical area of development of the medical center is dialysis. Asklepios Сlinic Barmbek in Hamburg is the first clinic in the world to offer all innovative and traditional methods of dialysis access systems. In particular, the world's first publication on two minimally invasive dialysis bypass systems was recognized as the best publication of 2020 by the Journal of Vascular and Interventional Radiology (JVIR) and the Society of Interventional Radiology. Modern methods of treatment in surgery and a minimally invasive approach have also been achieved in visceral surgery, urology, thoracic surgery, and gynecology. Thanks to the DaVinci X, the medical center is recognized as a Center of Competence in Gastric and Esophageal Surgery, and the esophagus resection is entirely robotic. Also, Focus magazine included the hospital in the top 100 list of the best in the country in 2021 in colorectal cancer, gallbladder and biliary tract surgery, high-risk childbirth, breast and prostate cancer, and treatment of Parkinson's disease. The modern Hamburg Asklepios Medical Center in Barmbek offers patients from all over the world comprehensive, innovative treatment in ophthalmology, gastroenterology, orthopedics, neurology, oncology, cardiology, and surgery. High safety standards and an impeccable reputation are critical priorities of the clinic's doctors.
