About the clinic

University Hospital Giessen is a powerhouse of high-performance medicine and is recognized as the third-largest university hospital in Germany. Operating as a maximum-care facility, it offers a complete clinical spectrum—from ophthalmology and complex traumatology to specialized dentistry. As a historic milestone in German healthcare, Giessen became the nation's first privatized university hospital. This unique structure facilitates high efficiency and agility, particularly in the rapid adoption of innovative surgical techniques and interdisciplinary care models. The hospital is a global pioneer in minimally invasive surgery and is home to the Giessen School of Endoscopic Surgery. This center provides advanced interdisciplinary training in laparoscopic and hysteroscopic techniques, ensuring that the hospital's surgical departments remain at the forefront of "keyhole" medicine. In Cardiovascular and Thoracic Surgery, the hospital is exceptionally specialized, performing over 240 heart transplants annually and using advanced heart-lung machines and robotic assistance to uphold the highest safety standards. A defining feature of the Giessen campus is its integration with Justus Liebig University, fostering a research environment particularly strong in Pulmonology, Infectious Diseases, and Transplantation. The hospital operates its own blood bank and maintains separate, high-capacity emergency departments for both adults and children, ensuring uninterrupted care for critical cases. It is also a leading center for Nephrology, focusing on the long-term management of kidney diseases and complex organ replacement therapies. Through successful collaborations with scientific and industrial partners, University Hospital Giessen ensures that the latest biotechnological products directly benefit patient recovery. The facility is certified by various international associations for its adherence to rigorous sanitary and clinical quality standards. By focusing on a "patient-first" philosophy, the medical team at the hospital aims to restore quality of life through a blend of aggressive research, innovative treatment concepts, and the compassionate application of world-class medical expertise.

FAQ

Is the clinic good for cancer treatment?

The hospital is suitable for surgery, including malignant tumors that traditional methods cannot remove, and uses robotic surgery, gamma knife, and cyber knife to stop the spread of the disease. The center also uses HIPEC, which heats the chemotherapeutic drug and penetrates all cancer cells.

Does the hospital perform minimally invasive operations on the gastrointestinal tract?

Highly qualified surgeons use transluminal endoscopic surgery through a natural opening (NOTE), which allows entry to the stomach or abdominal cavity through a natural space, unlike traditional open or laparoscopic surgery with a large incision in the abdominal wall.

Are there male infertility specialists at the clinic?

The medical center uses innovative technologies for the treatment of male infertility. Innovative TESE and MESA techniques are performed using microsurgery. Thanks to the clinic's approaches, sperm collection is improved, and the tissue obtained from the testicle is reduced.
