Robot-assisted minimally invasive visceral surgery
Your health is important to us
Our hernia centre is internationally recognised. In addition to various, mostly minimally invasive procedures, robot-assisted surgery is also used for complex anatomical conditions.
A special feature of our hernia centre is the robot-assisted surgery of large and sometimes very complicated abdominal wall hernias. Robotics opens up new avenues here. Compared to convertional laparoscopy, it enables technically simpler access to different layers of the abdominal wall. The advantages of open and minimally invasive techniques are combined.
This is particularly important for people with a high BMI.
