Centre for Surgical Medicine Clinic for Urological and Transplant Surgery
The clinic treats patients with urogenital tract diseases. This includes the diagnosis and therapy of malformations of the urinary organs, inflammatory diseases, urinary stones in kidneys, ureters and urinary bladder, urinary transport problems and incontinence. In addition, all tumours in kidneys, adrenal glands, ureter, bladder, prostate gland, testes and penis, as well as anomalies and diseases of the male genitals, descending urinary tract and external genitals are treated using modern methods. Transplantations of postmortally donated and living donation of kidneys are also performed, including all preparatory and postcare actions.
In 2012, we reached a new record with 35 living donation transplantations of kidneys. Our part of the total amount of kidney transplantations is a leading postion in Germany with nearly 50 %.
About 1,000 open and 7,000 minimally invasive surgical endoscopic urological procedures are performed annually in the clinic.
