Robert Bosch Hospital

The Robert Bosch Hospital is one of the top private medical centers in Germany in terms of the number of services and the quality of treatment. Back in 1936, the clinic was founded on the initiative of Robert Bosch the Elder. Also, since 1978, the hospital has been an academic training medical center of the University of Tuebingen and participates in training highly qualified medical personnel. Furthermore, professor staff, innovative medicine thanks to clinical research, and internships abroad (America and Australia) complement the high-tech filling of departments. More than 3,000 employees and 17 departments service 40,000 patients a year. Minimally invasive treatment with impeccable rehabilitation reduces the average length of stay and enables the treatment of severe and planned cases in more than 1,040 beds. In addition, 17 modern operating rooms, interdisciplinary educational and certified cure centers, research institutes, and specialized units for various forms of cancer have become an essential part of the advancement of the Robert Bosch Clinic. In 1997, the continuous improvement process contributed to the successful ISO certification of the entire building and laboratory parts following the highest standard. Doctors pay a lot of attention to oncological treatment. In particular, the medical center was one of the first in Germany to introduce the therapy of peritoneal carcinomatosis thanks to cytoreduction, hyperthermic chemotherapy (HIPEC), and pressurized intraperitoneal aerosol chemotherapy (PIPAC). Thanks to cooperation with the Margarete Fischer-Bosch Institute of Clinical Pharmacology, the German Cancer Research Center, and the University of Heidelberg, an active process of researching each case of oncological damage with the selection of individual optimal therapy has been launched in Robert Bosch Hospital. Also, the fight against malignant tumors is complemented by molecular diagnostics. A thorough approach made it possible to form the Comprehensive Oncology Center Tuebingen-Stuttgart, certified by German Oncology Care. In addition, the hematology intensive care unit for treating acute leukemia and stem cell transplantation was recognized by the German Association for Bone Marrow and Blood Stem Cell Transplantation for maintaining high standards of care. Also, surgeons perform more than 500 operations on the entire intestine with a high success rate compared to other clinics. Modern laparoscopic equipment, ultrasonic scalpels (Ultracision, CUSA), intraoperative ultrasound, and 3D X-ray diagnostics allow exact tissue-sparing interventions, particularly on the liver or esophagus. Using neuromonitoring and continuous monitoring (own discovery from the department of endocrine surgery) during surgery on the thyroid and parathyroid glands has been significant since 2001. In addition to surgical treatment, since 2003, doctors have assisted stroke patients in a specially designed internal monitoring station. In 2016, the hospital became part of the teleneurology network of the Freiburg University Hospital. Also, the medical center cooperates with the Clinic of Neurosurgery and the Institute of Diagnostic and Interventional Neuroradiology of the Ludwigsburg Clinic. The special division of geriatrics is in contact with the stroke, orthopedics, and therapy departments for a comprehensive approach to older patients. Robert Bosch Clinic has successfully treated therapeutic (internal medicine, cardiology, gastroenterology, and nephrology), oncological, orthopedic, gynecological, and surgical patients (visceral, cardiovascular, and endocrinological interventions). The dialysis department, endoprosthesis, emergency, and palliative care expand the range of services. Plastic surgery, rehabilitation, psychosomatic medicine, naturopathy, and integrative medicine are excellent bonuses to basic cures.
