About the clinic

The Red Cross Hospital Munich offers state-of-the-art diagnostic and treatment concepts, combining a long-standing tradition of care with modern medical innovation. Established in the late 19th century as a subsidiary of the Munich Sisterhood of the Bavarian Red Cross, the institution is defined by its commitment to both clinical excellence and the humanitarian values of the Red Cross. The hospital operates across two specialized locations in the Neuhausen-Nymphenburg district: the main clinic on Nymphenburger Straße and the renowned Taxisstraße Women’s Clinic. The hospital provides extensive inpatient capacity and is supported by a dedicated workforce of nearly a thousand employees, including a highly specialized team of physicians and nursing professionals. The Department of Gynecology and Obstetrics is one of the largest and most respected maternity centers in Germany, performing thousands of births annually. Furthermore, the hospital’s surgical infrastructure is designed for high-volume, precision surgery, performing over 17,000 surgical interventions each year across various disciplines. A key pillar of the facility is its certified hernia center, which serves as a regional leader in specialized surgical care. The surgical departments manage a comprehensive range of elective procedures while maintaining 24-hour readiness for emergency operations. All medical and nursing services are strictly aligned with the national standards of the German Nursing Excellence Network. The hospital places a premium on patient-oriented hygiene, maintaining rigorous protocols for infection prevention and the control of multidrug-resistant pathogens through standardized, transparent action plans and continuous monitoring. The hospital’s oncology center provides individualized cancer treatment grounded in the latest international scientific standards. Another core area of expertise is geriatric medicine, where a specialized department applies the latest findings in age-related healthcare to support the mobility and independence of elderly patients. The medical spectrum is further complemented by departments for internal medicine, vascular surgery, urology, traumatology, orthopedics, and otorhinolaryngology. Throughout the healing process, an interdisciplinary team of specialized physicians, therapists, psycho-oncologists, and nursing staff works in unison. This collaborative approach ensures that patients receive not only advanced medical intervention but also the psychological and social support necessary for a holistic recovery. The Red Cross Hospital Munich remains dedicated to its mission of treating every individual with the utmost care, dignity, and professional expertise.

FAQ

Does Red Cross Hospital Munich provide hernia surgery?

A team of experienced surgeons offers patients individualized treatment for all types of hernias, with a choice of traditional interventions and keyhole (minimally invasive) techniques. In addition, certified meshes for future prevention of hernia recurrence are the world's gold standard in the clinic.

What diagnostic range of services does the breast center include?

High-precision diagnostics of the breast center include mammography and sonography for diagnosing breast diseases, especially breast cancer. A minimally invasive biopsy followed by genetic testing is also offered for all imaging procedures. In addition, an MRI study is used to detect metastases.

Does the hospital perform genital correction surgery?

People who feel trapped in the body of the wrong sex can find a satisfying identity and sexuality through genital reassignment surgery. A medical team can guarantee competent treatment, with additional hormonal and psychological support, at a high level of safety, thanks to many years of experience.

What is the specialty of the Interdisciplinary Breast Center?

As one of the largest certified breast centers in Germany, it focuses on triple-modality diagnostics (digital mammography, 3D tomosynthesis, and MRI-guided biopsies). Surgeons specialize in "oncoplastic" procedures, which combine tumor removal with immediate plastic reconstruction to achieve optimal aesthetic and oncological outcomes.

How does the hospital treat cardiac arrhythmias?

The clinic features a certified Atrial Fibrillation Center that utilizes high-frequency current and cryo-ablation (cold therapy). These minimally invasive catheter techniques allow for the precise isolation of electrical interference in the heart, often providing a permanent cure for chronic palpitations.

Does the clinic offer specialized geriatric acute care?

Yes. The department of geriatrics uses an interdisciplinary "Age-Point" system. Specialists in geriatric medicine, physiotherapy, and occupational therapy work together from day one to treat acute illnesses while simultaneously preventing the loss of mobility, which is critical for patients over 80.

What advanced methods are used in the Hernia Center?

The hospital is a certified Center of Excellence for Hernia Surgery, specializing in the MILOS and eTEP techniques. These are advanced "keyhole" methods that place the stabilizing mesh outside the abdominal cavity (extraperitoneal), reducing post-operative pain and preventing contact between the mesh and internal organs.

How is pancreatic cancer treated here?

The hospital’s Pancreatic Cancer Center (certified by the German Cancer Society) uses a multimodal approach. This includes high-precision visceral surgery and intraoperative diagnostics to ensure complete tumor removal, combined with personalized "adjuvant" chemotherapy tailored to the tumor's specific molecular profile.

What specialized gynecological oncology services are provided?

The Women's Clinic specializes in treating uterine and ovarian cancers using nerve-sparing surgical techniques. By using high-magnification endoscopic cameras, surgeons can remove malignant tissue while protecting the autonomic nerves that control bladder and bowel function.

Is there specialized treatment for complex gallstone diseases?

Yes. The surgical team uses "Single-Port" Laparoscopy, where the entire gallbladder removal is performed through a single tiny incision in the navel. This leaves virtually no visible scarring and significantly reduces recovery time compared to traditional multi-incision surgery.
