University Hospital Bergmannsheil Bochum

Minimally invasive keyhole surgery is an option for doctors at the hospital. The surgical instruments and camera are inserted through small skin incisions without severe trauma. The technique can remove organs or tumors or simultaneously conduct examinations and biopsies.

New microsurgical procedures for patients with limb paralysis, such as nerve transplantation or tendon reconstruction, are proposed to improve the quality of life. Rapid progress and the maximum possible return of limb function are ensured by the experience of doctors and the advanced high-tech equipment.

The team treats patients with burn injuries of all degrees of severity from all over Germany and abroad, regardless of age. Intensive medical interventions, skin grafting, artificial skin replacement procedures, or skin cultured from the patient's cells allow for the closure of burn wounds and the replacement of burned skin.

As a Level 1 Supra-regional Trauma Center, it is the primary destination for the most severe industrial and traffic accidents in Germany. It specializes in complex bone reconstruction and limb salvage. The hospital is a pioneer in Biologized implants, using 3D-printed scaffolds combined with the patient’s own stem cells to regrow bone in large defects that previously required amputation.

Bergmannsheil is a global reference center for HAL (Hybrid Assistive Limb) robotic therapy. Unlike passive braces, this wearable robot detects faint bio-electrical signals from the patient’s skin to assist movement. It is used daily to help paraplegic patients re-learn walking patterns, significantly improving muscle mass and neural plasticity compared to traditional physical therapy.

The department for plastic surgery and severe burns is one of the largest and most advanced in Europe. It features a specialized intensive care unit with "Sand-beds" to prevent pressure sores and maintains its own skin bank. A key focus is the use of Spray-on Skin (ReCell) and biosynthetic skin substitutes, which allow for the closure of massive burn wounds using only a tiny biopsy of the patient’s healthy skin.

Yes. The neurological clinic is a leading center for the treatment of complex regional pain syndrome (CRPS). They utilize high-resolution MR-Neurography to visualize inflamed nerves in 3D. Treatment protocols integrate mirror therapy with advanced neuromodulation (spinal cord stimulation) to recalibrate the brain's pain processing for patients who have not responded to medication.

Bergmannsheil houses one of Germany’s oldest and most respected clinics for lung diseases. It specializes in endobronchial valve implantation for emphysema and the latest targeted immunotherapies for lung cancer. As a professional association clinic, it is also the national authority for diagnosing and treating work-related lung diseases, such as silicosis and asbestosis.

The hospital utilizes the da Vinci Xi robotic system for high-precision abdominal operations. A specialty is robotic-assisted esophagectomy (removal of the esophagus) for cancer. This minimally invasive approach reduces the traditional double-incision trauma (chest and abdomen), leading to fewer respiratory complications and a much faster return to normal eating.
