FAQ

Does the clinic perform stem cell transplantation?

Specialists perform stem cell transplantation for the entire spectrum of malignant and non-malignant diseases with innovative approaches to cell therapy and gene therapy methods. In addition to conventional BMT, doctors also use the residual cord blood and haploidentical family donors.

What radiotherapy options does the medical center offer?

The hospital is the only facility in the region that uses modern high-precision methods of electron and photon radiation therapy, stereotaxy, and brachytherapy, including whole-body radiotherapy. The minimum necessary dose depends on the tumor type and is calculated individually.

Why is Hannover Medical School Hospital good for vascular surgery?

Does the clinic carry out diagnostics by endoscopic methods?

Gastrointestinal endoscopy implements advanced technologies for endoscopy by inserting tiny probes equipped with cameras that allow visualization of organs. As a result, the surgeon can often do treatment and diagnostics inside the body simultaneously during a single session.

Why is MHH considered the best for lung transplants?

MHH performs more lung transplants than almost any other center worldwide. Their success is driven by the "Hannover Technique" and the use of specialized machines that keep lungs breathing outside the body (ex-vivo) to improve their condition before surgery.
