SURGICAL THERAPY

Operations
Surgery is performed by Prof. Dr. M. Fischer at the ATOS Clinic or at St. Josefs Hospital Heidelberg. Both locations are characterised by their high medical quality. Anaesthesia is introduced by a team of experienced anaesthesiologists. In general, both outpatient and inpatient interventions are possible at both clinics. All in all we try to reduce the duration of an inpatient stay to a level required from a medical point of view.
