About the clinic

Sachsenhausen Hospital in Frankfurt am Main is a historic institution that has successfully transitioned from a specialized 19th-century "dietary clinic" into a high-tech center for minimally invasive surgery. Located in the heart of Frankfurt, it serves as a primary emergency care hub while maintaining its status as a global reference center for metabolic health. The clinic’s architectural integration includes a unique medicinal "diabetic garden" with 50 specific plant species, reflecting its long-standing commitment to the holistic intersection of nutrition and medicine. The hospital is a premier European center for metabolic and bariatric surgery. It specializes in treating morbid obesity and its secondary complications, such as type 2 diabetes, through innovative procedures like the mini-gastric bypass and sleeve gastrectomy. Unlike many general hospitals, Sachsenhausen uses a specialized "metabolic surgery" approach, with the goal of hormonal remission of diabetes. This is supported by an interdisciplinary team of endocrinologists and nutritionists who provide lifelong follow-up care to ensure long-term weight stability and metabolic health. In the field of vascular and interventional medicine, the clinic is a leader in treating diabetic foot syndrome. The specialized unit utilizes "hybrid" interventions, combining traditional surgery with catheter-based balloon angioplasty, to restore blood flow to the lower extremities and prevent amputations. This expertise is paired with a certified chest pain unit, which provides 24/7 emergency interventions for acute coronary syndromes. By using ultra-fast imaging and radial access (through the wrist) for heart catheters, the cardiology team minimizes patient discomfort and recovery time. The interdisciplinary surgical center at Sachsenhausen is recognized for its extreme specialization in "sparing" techniques. Beyond routine appendectomies or gallbladder removals, the surgeons here perform complex oncological resections of the colon and stomach almost exclusively via laparoscopy. This commitment to reducing surgical trauma extends to the patient’s environment; the facility offers "hotel-standard" comforts, including customized nutritional plans that respect the clinic's historic roots in dietary science. This blend of specialized surgical mastery and high-end patient care makes Sachsenhausen Hospital a top choice for both local and international patients seeking advanced abdominal or gynecological care.
