Features & Facts

Cutting-edge surgeries
The clinic successfully implements minimally invasive abdominal and endocrine procedures, including keyhole surgery. The operation is performed through several holes with a 5-12 mm diameter.
The gold standard of prostate enucleation
An abdominal incision is no longer required. With the Holmium-Laser (HoLEP), the prostate can be gently taken out from inside the urethra. Additionally, the laser can be used to break and eliminate urinary tract stones.
3D and 4D radiotherapy planning
The plan involves irradiating moving organs with "breath retention" to protect the heart, organs in the upper abdomen, and healthy parts of the lungs from unnecessary radiation exposure.
Advanced diagnostic equipment
The latest 64-line computed tomography allows for the visualization of blood vessels, leading to brilliant results in the clinic's angiology field.
Focus on pain therapy
The clinic's comprehensive treatment options include medications, physiotherapy, TLA (local therapeutic anesthesia), ultrasound-guided spinal injections, percutaneous nerve stimulation, acupuncture, hypnotherapy, and more.
