About clinic
Assuta is the largest and most equipped network of 11 private multidisciplinary clinics in Israel, which opened in 1936. The most famous and popular among foreign patients is Assuta in Tel Aviv. The main specialization is high-tech surgery in all areas of medicine. 13% of all surgeries in Israel are performed in Assuta clinics. IVF, diagnostics, cancer treatment, and many other diseases in adults and children are also in demand, requiring advanced technologies and highly qualified specialists.
Advanced Surgery at Assuta Clinic
Doctors of Assuta Clinic in Tel Aviv perform 500 surgical interventions in 16 operating rooms. Among them are various "small" diagnostic procedures and "large" complex interdisciplinary operations. Most surgical interventions, including those in the early stages of cancer, are minimally invasive with a short rehabilitation period.
Operations using the Da Vinci robotic surgeon on the kidneys, prostate gland, liver, and uterus are available. In almost all areas of surgery, doctors use innovative technologies:
- In urological, oncological, and neurosurgical operations, surgeons use the O-Arm intraoperative imaging system and the StealthStation navigation system. Thanks to this, surgeons perform less invasive interventions and immediately check the result of the operation.
- When the ligaments of the shoulder joint are torn, orthopedists use the Israeli InSpace™ Balloon technology. They perform the implantation of a medical balloon using arthroscopy or through mini-incisions. This procedure avoids joint prosthetics.
- Neurosurgeons use the Spine Assist robotic surgical system during spinal surgery. This ensures minimal invasiveness of the procedure and maximum precision of manipulations.
- Spinal surgeons operate with the Bonescalpel ultrasonic scalpel, which effectively and quickly cuts bone structures without damaging the spinal cord, nerves, or blood vessels.
- Oncosurgeons perform intraoperative regional and hyperthermic intraperitoneal chemotherapy (HIPEC) using the latest generation of cytostatics.
Assuta employs unique specialists who perform operations that are not yet available in other clinics in Israel and other countries. For example, orthopedists perform simultaneous knee replacements with 3D planning in advance.
Surgical treatment of rectal cancer in the early stages is carried out by the method of transanal endoscopic microsurgery (TEM) using a special rectoscope. An effective system of early postoperative rehabilitation matches the high level of surgery in Assuta.
Innovative diagnostic and treatment technologies in Assuta
Assuta Hospital has many advanced technologies. Among them:
- The only PET-MRI facility in Israel. Today, it is the most accurate and safe research method in oncology, cardiology, and neurology.
- Implantation of a leadless pacemaker – Micra capsules 2.5 cm long. Interventional cardiologists install a pacemaker without surgery, using cardiac catheterization through the femoral artery (this procedure is available only in 4 clinics in Israel).
- Radiosurgery with the help of the CyberKnife robotic unit – non-surgical treatment of tumours of many localizations.
- VenaSeal technology. Vascular surgeons use it to treat varicose veins in the legs. The procedure does not require general anaesthesia and the postoperative wearing of special stockings. According to the clinic, this procedure's success rate is 95%.
Assuta constantly replenishes its medical arsenal with innovative methods in all areas of medicine. All of them are available to foreign patients.
IVF in Assuta
In IVF clinics, reproductologists perform 17,000 IVF procedures annually. The method has been improved through the use of EmbryoScope technology. An embryoscope is an incubator with a microscope and a camera that creates a three-dimensional image of each embryo every 20 minutes. A specialist on a computer monitor, without opening the incubator, observes the development of all fertilized eggs and selects the most viable of them for transfer to the uterus. In addition, in pre-implantation genetic diagnosis (PGD), the embryologist uses an innovative technique of DNA microarrays. Therefore, the IVF success rate in Assuta is among the highest in Israel, at 42-45% (clinic data).
The Main Advantages of Treatment in Assuta

- receive treatment in a well-known medical centre with international JCI accreditation;
- choose an attending physician, including a surgeon and an anesthesiologist;
- select a ward and a coordinator-translator;

Clinic: Assuta Hospital Tel Aviv
Diagnosis: Breast cancer
My name is Lubov. My medical history is as follows. I am 32 years old. In February, I found a lump in my chest. Of course, I immediately turned to the mammologist, he directed me to do an ultrasound. I was diagnosed with the mastopathy. He said that I should not worry about nothing, the operation was scheduled for the end of August. Then, having told about this situation to my friend, I realized that it was better not to take risks, especially there is an oncological history in my family (the doctor ignored this fact). A friend advised me to address the company Ilissa, where she was undergoing treatment for cervical cancer and was very pleased. After I have adreesed, a medical consultant Lev contacted me. He was very livable, explained everything concerning treatment and arrival. After he received documentation and from us consultations with the doctor, he sent us a diagnostic program, everything was written in very detailed and understandable ways. The diagnosis was carried out within a week, my fears were justified, the neoplasm was malignant. Thank God, the metastases were not found, an operation and preliminary chemotherapy were recommended. The cost of the operation for me was high. I began to find out the price at us. Then, after I was told that it is necessary to remove the mammary gland, I decided to be operated on in Israel. The operation was conducted by Professor Gutman in the Assuta hospital. The operation was successful. Thank God, they saved the chest. I want to thank Ilissa Center and all the staff of Assuta Hospital! In particular, Leo and Roni, they were available even at a later time and were patient, despite my frequent calls and numerous questions before and after treatment. Thank you very much!!

Clinic: Assuta Hospital Tel Aviv
Diagnosis: diagnostics
Last summer, I was diagnosed in Assuta. I was very pleased with the professionalism of doctors, prices, and service in general. In addition, the diagnosis made in Russia was not confirmed. Arriving in Israel, I was staying at my friend and went to the clinic without any problems by public transport. By the way, the first doctor’s appointment was assigned to me on the day of arrival. I got an appointment with specialists in various fields, including an oncologist, a mammologist, an endocrinologist, etc. I passed all the necessary laboratory tests and in less than 2 weeks I got the results. At all stages of the trip I was accompanied by a coordinator, who greatly simplified my stay in the clinic. I was very glad that I did not have cancer. I will never again use the services of Russian doctors, and I will only go for treatment abroad. It’s worth it. After all, life and health are the most expensive.

What are the benefits of cancer treatment at Assuta Tel Aviv?
In the diagnosis and treatment of all types of cancer, oncologists at Assuta use innovative equipment:
- PET-MRI (positron emission and magnetic resonance imaging). Hybrid scanning allows you to visualize masses that are not always found on PET-CT, including small metastases in the brain, liver, lymph nodes, and bone tissue, as well as tumour recurrences.
- 2 linear accelerators of the latest generation TrueBeam and MRIdian Linac with a built-in MRI scanner, an innovative ExacTrac X-Ray patient positioning system for radiation therapy IMRT, IGRT, SBRT, and VMAT.
- Robotic installation of CyberKnife for non-surgical treatment of tumours of different localizations.
In addition, Assuta successfully uses various methods of personalized immunotherapy:
- CAR-T-cell therapy in patients with blood cancer, in particular, with multiple lymphomas;
- immunotherapeutic drugs – the so-called checkpoint inhibitors, which improve survival and quality of life in patients with stage 3-4 lung cancer;
- TIL cell therapy for melanoma;
- monoclonal antibody treatment for breast, kidney, colorectal, and many other cancers.
There are other benefits of treating cancer, including:
- during chemotherapy, patients are put on a special hat, with which the skin temperature is maintained high, which protects the hair follicles from the effects of chemotherapy drugs and prevents hair loss by 70%;
- all types of cancer treatment can be obtained “under one roof”;
- the attending physicians are leading Israeli oncologists who work in various large public clinics and collaborate with Assuta.
What is the advantage of surgical treatment at the Assuta Tel Aviv clinic?
Many surgeries in Assuta, including the Da Vinci robotic system, are minimally invasive. In addition, Assuta often performs and puts on stream unique surgeries that are not available in other clinics. For example, back in 2019, specialists from the Surgical Institute performed a complex operation on a patient with pancreatic cancer. The surgeons performed a resection of the head of the pancreas and large blood vessels into which the tumour had grown. They also restore the blood supply to the gland. In most clinics in the world, such cases are considered inoperable.
Assuta often admits patients with stage 3-4 cancer who have been denied surgical treatment at their place of residence. Oncologists, as a rule, first prescribe chemotherapy or chemoradiotherapy to such patients, and then surgeons successfully operate.
Why do many foreigners choose Assuta in Tel Aviv?
According to patients, the Assuta Tel Aviv clinic has the best doctors in Israel, high technology, and comfort, including for accompanying persons. For example, they are in a comfortable waiting room during the operation. Detailed information about the surgery course is sent to them via SMS and displayed on monitors.
In Assuta, the most famous Israeli doctors work. They combine practice in public university clinics with the reception of private patients in Assuta. Each patient can choose the attending physician and surgeon among them,
Which famous doctors work at Assuta Tel Aviv?
The world-famous oncologist Dr. Yitzhak Avital works at Assuta. The doctor successfully performs surgical treatment of stage 3-4 cancer. Patients from all over the world come to him with metastatic cancer of the stomach, pancreas, intestines, liver, ovaries, and uterus with peritoneal involvement. Dr. Avital treats such patients with the following methods:
- Cytoreductive surgery – complete removal of all foci of cancer in the abdominal cavity;
- Hyperthermic intraperitoneal chemotherapy (HIPEC) is the treatment of the abdominal cavity with a hot solution of a chemotherapy drug;
- Pressurized Intraperitoneal Aerosol Chemotherapy (PIPAC) injects a chemotherapy drug under pressure into the abdominal cavity.
The surgeon owns unique methods of reconstruction of the abdominal organs after extensive operations for cancer. For example, after resection of the left lobe of the liver with a tumour that disrupts blood circulation in the right lobe of this organ. It restores all function in the remaining lobe by redirecting blood flow. This eliminates the need for a liver transplant.
What are the disadvantages in Assuta Tel Aviv?
This is the cost of medical services: it is 10-15% higher than in public clinics. However, the efficiency and quality of medical care provided, the absence of queues and other advantages of private Israeli medicine justify the prices in Assuta.
How is severe atrial fibrillation treated in Assuta?
In patients with atrial fibrillation that cannot be treated with medical therapy or transcatheter radiofrequency ablation (TRA), cardiac surgeons perform the Maze operation and install the Watchman device.
Foreign patients often choose the famous cardiac surgeon Dr. Leonid Sternik, who works in the Assuta and Sheba clinics, to perform heart surgery. Dr. Sternik specializes in the surgical treatment of atrial fibrillation and has over 30 years of experience. In a hybrid operating room, the surgeon simultaneously performs several interventions:
- Creates a “maze” of micro-cuts in the atrial myocardium, which stops the spread of pathological impulses in the atria and thereby prevents their fibrillation;
- using an intracardiac catheter installs a “watchman” device in the form of a self-expanding umbrella in the left atrial appendage, which prevents the formation of blood clots and the development of a stroke;
- eliminates all other cardiac pathologies – stents or shunts of the coronary arteries, if necessary, corrects the mitral valve.
For many patients, cardiac surgeon Sternik performs a minimally invasive version of the operation. The success rate of the labyrinth operation in Assuta, according to the clinic, is over 90%.
Can a pituitary tumor be cured in Assuta Tel Aviv?
Assuta has everything you need to successfully treat a malignant or benign pituitary tumour. The primary method of treatment is surgery. In most patients, the neurosurgeon removes the tumour through the nasal passage. In some patients, the tumour is cured with radiosurgery – SBRT or CyberKnife. In the case of a malignant tumour, patients receive combined treatment.
At Assuta, patients with pituitary tumours are consulted and treated by a world-class specialist, Prof. Zvi Ram, one of the most experienced neurosurgeons in Israel and an international-level radiosurgeon, Dr. Andrew Kaner.
An Experts Medical coordinating doctor will help you get a consultation in Assuta Tel Aviv and organize a treatment at Assuta.
