Asklepios Clinic Lich

Located in the historic town of Lich in Central Hesse, Asklepios Clinic Lich is an influential academic teaching hospital that combines high-capacity regional emergency care with world-class surgical subspecialization. Situated along Goethestraße, the facility acts as a crucial clinical cornerstone for the Gießen district and surrounding communities. Distinguishing itself from standard regional hospitals, the campus holds a prestigious dual identity: it is celebrated across Germany for its WHO and UNICEF-accredited Babyfriendly Maternity Hospital, which prioritizes natural parent-child bonding alongside advanced prenatal diagnostics, while simultaneously serving as a high-tech academic hub linked with university medical research networks. This patient-centered architecture is reflected throughout its physical footprint, which pairs modern two-bed inpatient rooms with an exclusive Privita comfort station designed for private, low-stress recovery. The surgical and oncological authority of Asklepios Clinic Lich is fundamentally anchored by its certified colorectal cancer unit, which operates in tight coordination with the University Bowel Center Central Hesse. The clinic has earned widespread recognition for its pioneering coloproctology unit, where surgeons deploy advanced regenerative interventions, including healthy donor stem cell transplantations to treat complex inflammatory bowel disease and persistent anal fistulas. To resolve severe pelvic floor dysfunction and chronic incontinence, the hospital’s visceral team utilizes precision mesh reconstructions alongside sacral nerve stimulation through implantable intestinal pacemakers. For aggressive abdominal malignancies, the facility executes hyperthermic intraperitoneal chemoperfusion to deliver targeted, heated chemotherapy directly within the operating suite during tumor resection. This procedural precision is supported by the clinic’s specialized oncological division, a unique interdisciplinary bedside protocol where visceral surgeons, oncology nurses, psycho-oncologists, and nutritional specialists jointly visit patients to refine treatment trajectories directly at the bedside. The department of hernia surgery was also awarded the "Surgical Quality Guaranteed" certificate by the German Hernia Society. Endocrine surgery has also achieved significant recognition. The specialists in surgery and visceral surgery have the "Neck Endocrine Surgery" award from the European Board of Surgical Qualifications.  In addition, they are included in the "Best Doctors in Germany" list by the journal Guter Rat.  Furthermore, the department is certified by the German Society of General and Visceral Surgery as one of 40 competence centers for thyroid and parathyroid surgery in the country. The Lich Asklepios Hospital is also the first clinic in the Central Hesse region certified as an arthroplasty center. The geriatric trauma center is also certified by DGU. Extending its acute emergency and metabolic capabilities, Asklepios Clinic Lich features a certified cardiac arrest center alongside an accredited chest pain unit, providing zero-latency resuscitation, cardiac monitoring, and intensive stabilization for out-of-hospital cardiac arrest victims. The hospital’s endocrine and parathyroid surgery division stands as another regional pillar, employing advanced sonographic elastography and ultrasonic scalpels to perform ultra-precise, tissue-sparing resections for complex thyroid and parathyroid disorders. Complementing these interventions are a certified center for bariatric and metabolic surgery, an accredited facility delivering custom-planned joint replacements, a certified trauma center specializing in geriatric orthotraumatology, and a specialized dysplasia unit.
